I NEED HELP!!

A pigeon was sitting 5 meters from the base of a telephone pole and flew 13 meters to reach the top of the pole. How tall is the telephone pole?

Answer 1

well it’s five to reach pole then 13 to the top so 18 meters! i’m sorry the other person who answered it rude. :)

Answer 2

Answer: 12 meters

Step-by-step explanation: We can use the Pythagorean Theorem again, but this time we are solving for B!

A² + B² = C²

5² + B² = 13²

25 + B² = 169

169 - 25 = B²

144  = B²

$\sqrt{144}$ = B

12 = b

Hope this helps :)
