There is a rope hanging from the top of a pole with 3 feet of it lying on the ground. When it is tightly stretched, so that the end just touches the ground, it reaches a point 8 feet from the base of the pole. How long is the rope

length of rope

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

Length of rope on Ground

Length of rope from pole base when stretched

Given length of pole as P

length of the rope is therefore given by

Generally the Pythagoras theorem is mathematically given by

Therefore

length of rope

length of rope

length of rope

(42, 54)

Step-by-step explanation:

Coordinate rule for a dilation with scale factor k is simply this: (x, y) --> (kx, ky).

Multiply both coordinates by the scale factor given(r)
