Best Answer

Providing that the base is on a level surface you can use Pythagoras' theorem:

82+52 = length of wire squared which is 89

Square root of 89 is 9.433981132

So the length of the wire is 9.433981132 feet or 9 feet to one significant figure.

A curtain pole passing bracket is designed to allow curtains to pass over a bracket without obstruction, usually used for bay windows or areas where curtains need to move freely. It typically has an open-top design with a wider gap that allows the curtain rod to move smoothly along the pole without getting stuck.
