16)A tower is 15m
high A peg is fixed
on the ground at a
distance of 8 m
from the foot of the
towerIf a rope is
tied from top of the
tower to the peg,
find the length of
the rope.
*​

Answer 1

the height of the tower (p)= 15m

distance of the peg(b)= 8m

Length of the rope (h)= ?

h²= b²+p²

h²= (8m)²+(15m)²

h= √64m²+225m²

= √289m²

= 17m

Therefore, the length of the rope is 17m
