A 36-foot long rope is tied from the top of a pole to a stake in the ground. If the stake is 17 feet from the base of the pole, find the height of the pole. Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Perpendicular = 31.73 ft (Approx)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length of rope (Hypotenuse) = 36 ft

Base = 17 ft

Find:

Height of pole (Perpendicular)

Computation:

Perpendicular = √Hypotenuse² - Base²

Perpendicular = √36² - 17²

Perpendicular = √1,296 - 289

Perpendicular = 31.73 ft (Approx)
