An anchor line for a tower needs to be replaced the tower is 96ft tall. The anchor line is 10ft long. How far from the tower can it be placed to the nearest foot

The anchor line can be put 42.53 foot from the tower.

Step-by-step explanation:

The following information is missing in the question:

Length of anchor line = 105 foot

The attached image shows the complete question.

We are given the following in the question:

Length of tower = 96 foot

Length of anchor line = 105 foot.

We have to find how far the tower can be placed. Let this length be x foot.

Since, the tower, anchor line forms a right angled triangle.

Pythagoras Theorem:

The sum of the squares of the two sides of a right angled triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.

Then, by Pythagoras theorem, we can write:

Thus, the anchor line can be put 42.53 foot from the tower.
