Do you understand what the Pythagorean Theorem tells you ?
In a right angled triangle a^2 + b^2 = c^2 (with c being the hypotenuse).
Your question tells you a = 7, b = 12, length of rope c to be found.
You should be able to understand that c^2 = 7^2 + 12^2 = 193
c = √(193) ~ 13.89 feet.

Did you make a diagram ? Why not ? do it NOW !!
the legs of the right triangle formed are: 7 ft and 12 ft
the length of the rope is the HYPOTENUSE...
h² = 7² + 12² = 193
h = √193 ≈ 13.89 ft
