Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

The lights and pole form a right triangle. The question gives the hypotenuse as 5 and one side length as 4.

Use the Pythagorean theorem: a^2+b^2=c^2.

Plug in what you are given: 4^2+b^2=5^2

16+b^2=25

b^2=9

b = 3

Or you could recognize that it was a pythagorean triple: 3, 4, 5
