Question

A guy wire attached to a vertical pole of height 18 m is 24 m long and has a stake attached to the other end. How far from the base of the pole should the stake be driven so that the wire will be taut?

Answer 1

Let AB (=24m ) be guy wire attached to a vertical pole BC of height 18 m. To keep the wire taut let it fixed to stake at A Then ABC is a right triangle right angled at C.

AB² =AC² +BC²

so ∴24² =AC² +18²

or AC² =576−324

or AC² =252

or AC= √252

AC=6√7m

therefore the stake may be placed at a distance of 6√7 m from the base of pole

Answer:

good morning dear

Step-by-step explanation:

Manures and fertilizers help in conserving and enriching the fertility of the soil. By growing plants again and again on the same soil, the soil becomes deficient in nutrients. Thus it is necessary to replenish the soil with these nutrients. That's why farmers add manures and fertilizers to the field.
