Answer:
Perpendicular = 31.73 ft (Approx)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Length of rope (Hypotenuse) = 36 ft
Base = 17 ft
Find:
Height of pole (Perpendicular)
Computation:
Perpendicular = √Hypotenuse² - Base²
Perpendicular = √36² - 17²
Perpendicular = √1,296 - 289
Perpendicular = 31.73 ft (Approx)
