A flag staff is to be erected vertically on the ground. A rope is tied to the flag staff to peg on the ground. The peg is $6 m$ away from the bottom of the flag staff. If the rope is tied to the fag staff at a height of $8 m$ from the ground, find the length of the rope ?

Solution

$B C^{2} = A B^{2} + C A^{2}$

$B C = \sqrt{8^{2} + 6^{2}}$

$B C = \sqrt{64 + 36}$

$B C = 10 =$ length of rope.
