How long is a wire reaching from the top of a 12-foot pole to a point 6 feet from the base of the pole? a. 3√2 feet b. 6 √5feet c. 6√3 feet d. 6 feet

b

Step-by-step explanation:

Use Pythagorean Theorem to find the hypotenuse:

a² + b² = c²

6² + 12² = c²

36 + 144 = c²

    180    = c²

    √180 = c

√2 * 2 * 3 * 3 * 5 = c

3 * 2 √5 = c

6√5 = c
