So how did we arrive at our answer of 168, Mr. Lavelle?

Is it asking for a proportional relationship??
Where whatever the height of the flagpole is the wire must be 14 ft longer than that??
assuming the wire is attached to the top of the flagpole.

so it's a right angle at the base of the pole, and the wire is +14ft compared to the height from the ground where it connects to the pole... so you have 70, x, and (x+14) as the sides. See if you can use the side-angle-side method to figure it out?
It's been a while.
Edit: Didn't see that you solved it already

Reading this chain of logic was painful. Sort of miss math.
And guys, if you ever have to anchor a flag pole you may wanna avoid leaving any slack. Jussayin.Comment

Whenever we encounter a problem like this in real life, we will know the height of the flag pole.Originally posted by TSISam View Post

I'm horrible at math, you should know this. Anything beyond addition and subtraction eludes me.
