A tower has a 200 foot cable stretching from its top to the ground the cable is anchored 80 feet from the base of the tower how tall is the tower?

The cable makes a right triangle with the ground and the tower. You'd be using the Pythagorean theorem (a2+b2=c2) c is the cable (200') and use 80' as either a or b.
a2+802=2002
a2=2002-802
a2=40000-6400
a2=33600
a=183.3' rounded

A 300 foot support cable needs to be anchored in the ground from a tower is 275 feet high Find the distance along the ground where the cable should be anchored?
The answer is 119.9. All you have to do is use Pythagorean theorem. a^2+b^2=c^2. 275 is a, 300 is c, and you solve for b.
