Given, height of a pole is 8 m.

Distance between the bottom of the pole and a point on the ground is 6 m.

On the basis of given information, we can draw the following figure:

Let the length of the rope be x m.

AB = Height of the pole

BC = Distance between the bottom of the pole and a point on ground, where rope was tied

To find the length of the rope, we will use Pythagoras theorem, in right angled ∆ABC.

Hence, the length of the rope is 10 m.
