Scott sets up a volleyball net in his backyard. One of the poles, which forms a right angle with the ground, is 12 feet high. To secure the pole, he attached a rope from the top of the pole to a stake 10 feet from the bottom of the pole. Find the length of the rope, rounded to the nearest tenth.

Length of the rope = 15.6 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Height of the pole from the ground = 12 ft

Adjacent distance from the pole = 10 ft

We have to find the length of the rope attached by Scott to secure the pole.

According to the question :

In forma  right angled triangle as shown in the figure.

We have to find the measure of the hypotenuse.

Length of rope = Hypotenuse measure

Let the length of the rope = "h" ft

Using Pythagoras formula.

⇒

⇒ Plugging the values.

⇒

⇒

⇒

⇒ ft

The length of the rope, rounded to the nearest tenth is 15.6 ft.

the answer to the expression is 83
