Answer:

  34.6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance can be found using the Pythagorean theorem. Where a, b, c are the sides of a right triangle with c as the hypotenuse, it tells you ...

  a² + b² = c²

  a = √(c² -b²)

  base-to-string = √(39² -18²) = √1197 ≈ 34.598

The distance from the base of the pole to the end of the string is about 34.6 feet.

<h3>What is a transformation?</h3>

In Mathematics, a transformation can be defined as the movement of a point from its original (initial) position to a final (new) location. This ultimately implies that, when an object is transformed, all of its points would be transformed as well.

<h3>The types of transformation.</h3>

Generally, there are different types of transformation and these include the following:

  1. Reflection
  2. Rotation
  3. Translation
  4. Dilation

<h3>What is a reflection?</h3>

A reflection can be defined as a type of transformation which moves every point of the object by producing a flipped but mirror image of the geometric figure.

In Geometry, a reflection over the y-axis is given by this rule (x, y) → (-x, y). Thus, line y = -x would become:

(-4, 2) → (2, -4).
