Two vertical poles, with the heights 6 m and 14 m, stand 20 m apart on horizontal ground. a wire is attached to the tops of the two poles, and is anchored to the ground at a point between the poles. determine how far from the base of the smaller pole it must be anchored so that the minimum length of wire is used.

answer: the answer is 5/22

step-by-step explanation: if you subtract 17 from 22 the answer is 5 therefore the remainder of students are female

step-by-step explanation: 15 units

77

step-by-step explanation:

the correct option is 2.

step-by-step explanation:

according to the given information triangle abc is a right angle triangle with right angle at a. segment ab is 5 and segment ac is 7. point d is on segment bc and angles adb and adc are right angles.

it is given that triangles abd, cad, and cba are similar.

two triangles are similar if their corresponding sides are proportional.

in triangle cba, using pythagoras theorem

                      )

triangle abd and cba are similar,

                            (2)

triangle cad and cba are similar,

                      )

using (1), (2) and (3), we get

hence proved.

therefore option 2 is correct.
