The cable is anchored to the tower at a height of 400&#039;. Four massive concrete blocks have been poured into the ground, each being positioned north, east, south and west from the tower so that the eyebolt anchor that is embedded in each block is exactly 300&#039; from the tower. I also know that I will need to add 6&#039; to the length of each cable to anchor each one properly to the tower and the eyebolt. How much steel cable will I need?</span></span><span style="color: #000000"></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><br /></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"></span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
