the sketch ilustates the tower and the proposed escape slide with 9 foot vertical support place is 6.5 feet from where the slide is anchored to the ground. what is the length to the nearest foot of the proposed slide in the sketch

If I read this correctly, the slide would form the hypotenuse of a right triangle with two legs of length 9 ft and 6.5 ft.......if so, the slide length is given by :
sqrt [ 9^2 + 6.5^2 ] ≈ 11.1 ft = 11 ft [rounded to the nearest foot ]
