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.
