A32-meter antenna mast is stabilized by a 40-meter guy wire. how far from the base of the mast is the guy wire secured to the ground?

a) 24
b) 6
c) 16
d) 8

To solve this, use the Pythagorean Theorem.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2 since it forms a right triangle
32^2 + b^2 = 40^2
1024 + b^2 = 1600
b^2 = 576
b = 24
so the correct answer would be A

A=bxh3.2x1.8=5.76 centimeters square
