Solve the problem.Two vertical poles of lengths 14 feet and 26 feet are situated on level ground 50 feet apart, as shown in the figure below. A piece of wire is to be strung from the top of the 14-ft pole, to a stake in the ground, to the top of the 26-ft pole. At what distance from the 14-foot pole should the stake be located to minimize the amount of wire used? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a foot.14 ft
