Arope 29 ft long rope is tied to the top of a flag pole. the rope is staked to the ground 21 ft away from the base of the pole. how tall is the flag pole?

20 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The length of rope tied to the top of a flag pole=29 ft

The distance between base of the pole and the point on ground where the rope is stacked= 21 ft

Let x be the height of flagpole.

Now, we can see the figure that the given situation represents a right triangle

Where longest side= 29

By Pythagoras theorem of right triangle, the square of the longest side is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

Hence, the height of flagpole = 20 ft.
