The cable is 65 feet long.

Given:

Height of the pole=60 feet

Distance of pole to the end of cable=25 feet

To find:

Length of the cable

Solution:

We can find the length by following a few simple steps-

We know that the pole, the ground, and then the cable form a right-angled triangle.

So, using the Pythagoras theorem,

Height of the cable²+ distance from the foot of the pole to cable's end²= length of cable²

60²+25²= Length of cable²

=3600+625

=4225

Length of the cable=√4225

=65 feet

Therefore, the length of the cable is 65 feet.
