 Hello and welcome to the session. Let us understand the following question today. A guy wire attached to a vertical pole of a height 18 meter is 24 meter long and has a stick attached to the other end. How far from the base of the pole should be the stick driven so that the wire will be taught. Now let us see the figure. Here let ABBB be a guy wire attached to a vertical pole of height 18 meter and length of AB is 24 meter. To keep the wire taught let it be fixed at A to a stick at A. Now here we have got triangle ABC which is right angle at C. So by Pythagoras theorem AB square is equal to AC square plus BC square which implies 24 square is equal to AC square plus 18 square. Which implies AC square is equal to 576 minus 324 which implies AC square is equal to 252 which implies AC square is equal to under root 252. Which implies AC is equal to 6 root 7. Hence the stick may be placed at distance of 6 root 7 meter from the base of the pole. Hence the required answer is 6 root 7 meter. I hope you understood the question. Bye and have a nice day.
