Answer:

11.4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the right triangle formed by the tent pole, the ground and the guy rope, where the guy rope (g) is the hypotenuse.

Applying Pythagoras' identity

The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides.

g² = 9² + 7² = 81 + 49 = 130 ( take the square root of both sides )

g = $\sqrt{130}$ ≈ 11.4 feet

$\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{middle point of 2 points } \\\\ (\stackrel{x_1}{\frac{5}{8}}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{\frac{27}{8}})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{x}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{y}) \qquad \left(\cfrac{ x_2 + x_1}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ y_2 + y_1}{2} \right) \\\\\\ \left( \cfrac{x+\frac{5}{8}}{2}~~,~~\cfrac{y+\frac{27}{8}}{2} \right)=\stackrel{midpoint}{\left( -\frac{7}{6}~~,~~-\frac{10}{3} \right)}$

$\bf -------------------------------\\\\ \cfrac{x+\frac{5}{8}}{2}=-\cfrac{7}{6}\implies x+\cfrac{5}{8}=-\cfrac{14}{6}\implies x=-\cfrac{14}{6}-\cfrac{5}{8} \\\\\\ x=\cfrac{-14(4)-5(3)}{24}\implies x=\cfrac{-56-15}{24}\implies \boxed{x=-\cfrac{71}{24}}\\\\ -------------------------------\\\\ \cfrac{y+\frac{27}{8}}{2}=-\cfrac{10}{3}\implies y+\cfrac{27}{8}=-\cfrac{20}{3}\implies y=-\cfrac{20}{3}-\cfrac{27}{8} \\\\\\ y=\cfrac{-20(8)-27(3)}{24}\implies y=\cfrac{-160-81}{24}\implies \boxed{y=-\cfrac{241}{24}}$
