Answer:

  16 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The geometry of the problem can be modeled by a right triangle. The Pythagorean theorem tells us the relationship between the various distances.

  EH² +HF² = EF²

  EH² + 12² = 20²

  EH² = 400 -144

  EH = √256 = 16

The hook is 16 feet below Edna.

Your equation is 3n = 201.

You have to isolate n so divide 3 to 201.
