end. How far from the base of the pole should the
stake be driven so that the wire will be taut?​

Answer 1

Answer:

6√7 m

Step-by-step explanation:

AB=18 m

AC=24 m

according to Pythagoras theorem

AC^2=AB^2+BC^2

576=324+BC^2

BC^2=252

BC=√252

BC=6√7 m

Answer 2

I hope it will be understandable.
