no problem bigjpst!

 

And to solve the puzzle, use the pythagorean theorem: x[SUP]2[/SUP]+y[SUP]2[/SUP]=z[SUP]2[/SUP] Where x is the distance along the ground, y is the distance up the tower, and z is the length of cable stretching from x to y. plug in 300[SUP]2[/SUP] + 400[SUP]2[/SUP] = z[SUP]2[/SUP], you solve for z which is 500. Since there are four cables required, that is 2000 feet. Each cable needs an extra 6 feet, so 6x4=24 + 2000 = 2024.

 

yes that is right mohrt!

 

A simple 3-4-5 Triangle

 

lol, i don't even have math today.

 

Simply put, the Pythagorean Theorem states that for all right triangles (one angle being 90 degrees), the sum of the squares of the two legs adjacent to the right angle equals the square of the hypotenuse, the leg opposite the right angle.

Congratulations, Tyler! Please PM me your address so that I can send you your prize.
