Question

What is the height of the flagpole

Answer 1

24 feet

Explanation:

Apply the Pythagorean theorem

According to this,

a² = b²+c²

a² is the hypotenuse. Now substitute your values. I'm considering 'h' as the height if the flagpole.

26² = 10² + h²

h² = 26² - 10²

h² = 576

`√(576)`

h = 24ft
