Answer:

The length of the rope = 8.94 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ The flagpole is 8 meters high

∵ The hook is 4 meters from its base and the hook is in the ground

∵ The flagpole and the ground ⊥ to each other

By using Pythagoras theorem:

∴ The length of the rope = √(8² + 4²) = 5√5 = 8.94 meters
