To calculate this you can use the Pythagorean Theorem, so if one pole is the height, the distance from top of one to bottom of other is hypotenuse, you can solve for the base by taking the square root of (20^2 - 12^2) or 16 which is the answer.

Please help i dont know how to do this

Hello once again!

When you see a question like this, you need to find the equation of the straight line.

The formular used is y = mx + c
Where
m = slope
c = constant

First find the slope, since it's a straight line, any 2 coordinates can be used.

m = { \frac{y_1 - y_2}{x_1-x_2} } \\ m= { \frac{16 - (- 8)}{-2 - 2} } \\ m= { \frac{24}{-4} } \\ m = -6

Now we need to substitude in the slope, and one of the coordinate you used to find the slope, to the formular to find the constant.

In this case i'm using the coordinate
(-2, 16)

y = mx + c
16 = -6(-2) + c
16 = 12 + c
c = 4

∴ The equation of the line is y = -6x + 4

The next step is to simply substitude in the x = 8 to the equation to find y.

y = -6(8) + 4
y = -48 + 4
y = -44
