Question 142291: Please if someone could help me with the following question
A car dealer advertised a big sale by stretching a string of banners from the top of the building to the edge of the driveway. If the building is 18m high and then driveway is 49m from the building how long is the string of bannerr. This is what I did but am not sure if this is corret.
18^2 + 49^2 = c^2
324 + 2401 = c^2
2725 = c^2
c = 52.20 ft long.
If anyone can tell me the correct answer to this problem it would be appreciated. Thanks
