So this problem is asking you to find the tangent of a triangle.

The pole is 8 meters and the hook is 4 feet away from the pole. This leaves you to find the hypotenuse of the triangle. To do this you divide the opposite side (8) by the adjacent side (4). 4 can be divided into 8 twice, therefore, the answer is 2.

I hope this helps! please mark this brainliest if correct.
