A 13-foot string of lights will be attached to the top of a 12-foot pole for a holiday display.

What are Pythagorean triplets?  

In a right-angled triangle, its side, such as hypotenuse, perpendicular and base is Pythagorean triplets.

string of light = BC = 13
pole = Ac = 12
base( distance between end of the string and pole ) = AB
by theorem -


AB^2 = BC^2 - AC^2
AB^2 = 13^2 - 12^2
AB^2 = 25
AB = 5

Thus, the end of the string of lights be anchored from the base of the pole is a foot away.
