A support wire for a utility pole is 40 feet long. The wire is attached to the ground 24 feet from the base of the pole. How tall is the utility pole?

32 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

given the following;

Length of wire = 40feet = hypotenuse

Base of the pole = 24 feet = adjacent

Required

Height of the pole (opposite)

Using the pythagoras theorem;

hyp^2 = opp^2 + adj^2

40^2 = 24^2 + opp^2

1600 = 576 +opp^2

opp^2 = 1600 - 576

opp^2 = 1024

opp = √1024

opp = 32feet

Hence the utility pole is 32feet tall

answer

a,b, and d

explanation

a reflection angle is more than

but less than;

an angle that measures

is a reflex angle.(true)

an angle that measures less than

is acute.(true)

provided we are considering angles greater or equal to zero.

an acute angle lies in the range.

an obtuse angle is less than 180° but more than 90°

an angle that measures 300° is obtuse (false)

an angle that measures 65° is an acute angle.(true)

answer: it's d
