Answer: 10ft

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
