Answer: 10ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The pole and the distance between the rope and pole make this appear as though it is a right angled triangle which means that one should be able to calculate the length of the rope by using the Pythagorean rule where:
c² = a² + b²
a = height of right angle triangle
b = length of right angle triangle
c = hypotenuse (length of rope)
c² = 6² + 8²
c² = 36 + 64
c² = 100
c = √100
c = 10 ft
Length of rope = 10ft
