top of a flagpole to a hook in the
ground. The flagpole is 6 meters
high, and the hook is 8 meters
from its base. How long is the
rope?
Can someone help me pls!

Answer 1

The length of the rope = 8.94 meters

Explanation:

The flagpole is 8 meters high

The hook is 4 meters from its base and the hook is in the ground

The flagpole and the ground ⊥ to each other

By using Pythagoras theorem:

The length of the rope = √(8² + 4²) = 5√5 = 8.94 meters
