Answer: The length of the wire is 60.81 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, since the antenna and the distance from the base to the point of the anchor form a right triangle (see attachment)
We can apply the Pythagorean Theorem
c2 = a2+b2
Where c is the hypotenuse of the triangle (the longest side, or the wire in this case) and a and b are the other 2 sides.
Replacing with the values given and solving for c:
c²= 43²+43²
c =√(43²+43²)
c =√(1849+1849)
c =√3689
c = 60.81 feet
