A pigeon was sitting 32 feet from the base of a telephone pole and flew 68 feet to reach the top of the pole. How tall is the telephone pole?

60 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Use Pythagorean theorem to solve this.

The pole = x

x^2 + 32^2 = 68^2

x^2 = 68^2 - 32^2

x^2 = 4624 - 1024

x^2 = 3600

x = 60

a² + b²= c²

24² + 7² = c²

c= 25
