Answer: 31.5 feet

Explanation:

Using this information, we can create a right triangle, with the hypotenuse being 39 and the height/first leg being 23.

Then, we can use the pythagorean theorem to calculate the missing leg (distance at the bottom):

a² + b² = c²

23² + b² = 39²

529 + b² = 1521

b = ≈ 31.5
