The answers are approximate values. The average finger height is about .75 in. The average height of a man is about 6 ft, give or take. The average height of a truck is more than twice that of a man. You don't need exact figures. Just judge based upon guesstimates. All of these values are clearly distinguishable from one another.

I have a parrot. His name is Pythagoras.

The equations isn't viable. The possible answers that are give are not assigned values. There for they would have to be established in order to give solvable equation. Meaning
I have no idea how tall your finger is. Nore do I know how tall you are or what type of truck is being used and its measurements.
You also don't establish a threshold of tension intended for the maximum hight that the rope can be stretched. Rephrase the question and I will give you an answer.

Using the Sine law, and a bit of geometry, I calculated the height at the 50 yard line to be 7.76 yards which converts to approximately 23 feet. So my answer is D, high enough to drive a truck under it.
