A flagpole is 24 ft tall. A steel wire that is 25 ft long is attached to the ground at one
end and to the top of the flagpole at its
other end. How far from the bottom of the
flagpole is the end of the steel wire?

look at the picture i have sent

the real question is why is this guys last name heavyfoot

step-by-step explanation:

answer: (-8,4) are the coordinates of a

step-by-step explanation:

let the side of square abcd is x .

thus the area of square abcd is .

now, by the diagram area of triangle ead= 1/2 × ea × ad = 1/2 × ea × x

( because ad is the side of square)

and, according to the question,

the areas of square abcd and right ead are equal.

⇒

⇒ea=2x

thus, ea: ab=2: 1

therefore, point a divides line segment eb into the ratio 2: 1.

⇒ by sectional formula coordinates of a are,

=

=

=(-8, 4)

thus the coordinates of a are (-8,4)
