Answer:

d. 29ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Using pythagoras theorem which states that

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

where a and b are the opposite and adjacent sides of a right angled triangle and c is the hypotenuse side

From the attached image, Let the length of the rope be x

x^{2} = 8^{2}+ 28^{2} \\

x^{2} = 64 + 784

x^{2} = 848

x =\sqrt{848}

x = 29.12

x≈29
