The Golden Gate bridge was built in San Francisco, California, in 1937. Until 1964, it was the longest suspension span in the world. The length of the cable from the top of the tower to where it anchored in the concrete is 2332 m, and the height of each tower is 152 m. Assuming the cable forms a straight line, how far from the base of the tower is the cable anchored?

Answer 1

ANSWER: 2327.04

EXPLANATION:

I’m assuming this is Reverse Pythagorean Theorem, so the equation would be c^2 - a^2 = b^2, so all you have to do it substitute the variables and solve. The length of the cable is variable c, the height of the tower is variable a, and the length of where is the cable is anchored and the base of the tower is variable b. That might not make any sense but feel free to ask any questions. :)
