A flagpole has a height of 66 yards. It will be supported by three cables, each of which is attached to the flagpole at a point 6 yards below the top of the pole and attached to the ground at a point that is 32 yards from the base of the pole. Find the total number of yards of cable that will be required

The value is

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The height of the flag pole is  

   The position of the cables on the pole with respect to its top is  

   The position of the cable from the base of the pole is  

    The number of cables is n =  3

Generally the length of one of the cable is obtained using Pythagoras theorem as follows

=>    

=>    

Generally the total number of yards of cable that will be required is mathematically represented as

=>    

=>    

1/800 is the right answer

the answer is 2/54
