Answer:8 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: right Δ
it's 8 because you know the triangle is a right triangle which means that you can use the Pythagorean Theorem. which would be
x²= 10²- 6²
x²= 100-36
x²=64
x=8
or you can use the Egyptian triangle which is a right triangle that's sides are equal to 3,4,5. This triangle is just double the Egyptian triangle which means everything is times 2. So knowing that and that two sides of this triangle is double two sides of the other triangle, you'll find that the third side is 8, because:
6÷3=2
10÷5=2
so now proving its double you can multiply by four by two since the answer of the previous problems is two
4×2=8
The base of the wall is 8 feet from the bottom of the pole.
