A rope goes from one building to another. The distance between the buildings is 10 meters, and the rope is tied to each building at a point 8 meters and 4 meters from the ground. Find the length of the rope.
We can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the rope. Let's call the length of the rope "x."
Using the Pythagorean Theorem, we have:
x^2 = 8^2 + (10 - 4)^2
x^2 = 64 + 36
x^2 = 100
x = √100
x = 10
Therefore, the length of the rope is 10 meters.
