A 60-meter-long rope anchors the column at 3/4 of its height. The rope is anchored in the ground at a distance of 15 meters from the base of the column. Calculate the height of the column (in tenths).

Correct answer:

x =  77.4597 m

Step-by-step explanation:

c=60 m a=15 m  a2 + (x 3/4)2=c2  x=34 c2a2=34 602152=20 15=77.4597 m
