math tower problem?

Question

the roof of the building is 32ft wide and 60ft long. a cell phone tower rises 30ft about the center of the flat roof and the wires are attached 5ft below the top of the antenna. wires are attached at each corner of the roof and at the midpoint of each edge.

how long is the wire from the midpoint of the long side?

how long is the wire from the midpoint of the short side?

how long is the wire from the corners?

Answer 1

1)L= LENGTH OF WIRE FROM MID POINT OF LONG SIDE
L^2=30^2 + 25^2
L^2=900+625
L= SQR(1525)
L=39.05

2) S=LENGTH OF WIRE FROM MID POINT OF SHORT SIDE
S^2=16^2 + 25^2
S^2=256 +625
S=SQR(881)
S=29.68

3)C=LENGTH OF WIRE FROM CORNER
B = DISTACE FROM THE BASE OF THE POLE TO THE
EDGE

B^2=16^2 +30^2
B^2=256+900
B=SQR(1156)
B=34

C^2=34^2 + 25^2
C^2=1156+625
C=SQR(1781)
C=42.20

Answer 2

how long is the wire from the midpoint of the long side?
L^2 = 625 + 256
how long is the wire from the midpoint of the short side?
L^2 = 625 + 900
how long is the wire from the corners?
L^2 = 625 + 900 + 256

Answer 3

1. how long is the wire from the midpoint of the long side?
39.05 ~ 39.1 ft.
2. how long is the wire from the midpoint of the short side?
29.68 ~ 29.7ft.
3. how long is the wire from the corners?
42.20 ft.

Hope this helps :)

Answer 4

*** I FIXED THEM! MY FIRST ANSWERS WERE WRONG. THESE ARE RIGHT TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE!
29.7 ft to long
39.1 ft to short
42.3 ft to corners

Those numbers are, of course, rounded.
