A 32-meter antenna mast is stabilized by a 40-meter guy wire. How far from the base of the mast is the guy wire secured to the ground?

A) 24
B) 6
C) 16
D) 8

Respuesta :

To solve this, use the Pythagorean Theorem.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2 since it forms a right triangle
32^2 + b^2 = 40^2
1024 + b^2 = 1600
b^2 = 576
b = 24
so the correct answer would be A
