A youth group is setting up camp. Rain is predicted, so the campers decide to build a fly, or rain cover, over their tent. The fly will be 12 feet high and 16 feet wide. The scouts are building the frame for the fly with two poles slanted and joined together at the top of the tent.

The image for this is attached for reference. This problem can be used by the Pythagorean equation.  To make solving convenient, let us see only one part of the tent. Hence, one side is half of the tend width which is 16/2ft. Height is 12 ft. The unknown side is the hypotenuse. The answer is: 
[tex] a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}
   8^{2} + 12^{2} = c^{2}
 c = 14.4[/tex]
