Ben set up a volleyball net in his backyard. one of the poles, which forms a right angle with the ground, is 7 feet high. to secure the pole, he attached a rope from the top of the pole to a stake 11 feet from the bottom of the pole. find the length of the rope. (round to the nearest tenth of a foot, if necessary).

length of rope is 13.04 feet

Explanation:

Given data

high = 7 feet

from the bottom  = 11 feet

to find out

length of rope

solution

we use here Pythagorean Theorem

we know length of rope is here hypotenuse

so h² = 7² + 11²

so h =

h =  

h =  13.038 ft

so length of rope is 13.04 feet
