Answer:
≈ 82 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the triangle is right use Pythagoras' identity to calculate distance (d)
The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides.
Here the hypotenuse is the distance (d) between the 2 poles, hence
d² = 80² + 45² = 6400 + 2025 = 8425 ( take the square root of both sides )
d = ≈ 82 feet ( to the nearest foot )
