You have two conflicting statements. In the first line you said that the fence post is 4 ft tall. In the third line you said it is 9 ft. tall.

Do you mean that the fence post is 9 feet from the flagpole?

fencepost= 4ft tall

fence post=9ft from the flagpole sorry i wasn't clear enough

Ffhh

To find the length of the string of lights from the top of the post to the top of the pole, we can add the heights of the post and the space between the post and the pole.

Given:
Height of the post = 4 ft
Height of the flagpole = 16 ft
Distance between the post and the flagpole = 9 ft

First, calculate the total height of the post and the distance between the post and the flagpole:
Total height = Height of the post + Distance between the post and the flagpole
Total height = 4 ft + 9 ft
Total height = 13 ft

Thus, the length of the string of lights from the top of the post to the top of the pole is 13 ft.
