Answer 1

Using Pythagoras theorem the hypothenuse of the figure is 32.5 feet

What are Pythagoras's Theorem

Pythagoras theorem is given as “In a right-angled triangle,  the square of the hypotenuse side is equal to the sum of squares of the other two sides“. The sides of this triangle  are perpendicular, base and hypotenuse. The hypotenuse is the longest side, as it is opposite to the angle 90°. The sides of a right triangle (say a, b and c) which have positive integer values, when squared, are put into an equation, also called a Pythagorean triple.

The formula of Pythagoras theorem is given as

c² = a² + b²

Taking the two sides given, we can find the hypothenuse of the right angle triangle figure

c² = 26² + 19.5²

c² = 676 + 380.25

c = √1056.25

c = 32.5

The distance from the top of the pole to the stake is 32.5 feet
