The height of the pole is 20ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height of the pole be '(h+6)'

Distance between the pole and Sven = 48ft.

Height of Sven = 6 ft.

Distance between the bird and his eyes = 50 ft.

We can find the value of 'h' using pythogoras theorem,

h = √(2500-2304)

h = √(196)

h = 14 ft.

The height of the pole = h + 6

= 14 + 6

= 20ft.

The height of the pole is 20ft.
