    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let,

    the telephone pole be AB

    the wire be AC

    therefore AB=24

    AC=26

    By using Pythagora’s theorem

    (AC)² =(AB)² + (BC)²

    (26)² =(24)² + (BC)²

    676 = 576 + (BC)²

    (BC)²= 676 – 576

    (BC)²=100

    BC =✓100

    BC. =10

    Therefore, the base of the telephone pole is set 10m far
