Algebra.Com's Answer #562114 by Roseghanezadeh(16) ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! So if you draw a line from one corner to its opposite corner you create a right triangle. That line that you just drew is the hypotenuse. And you know that to find the hypontenuse of a right triangle this is the formula: \n" ); document.write( "a^2 + b^2 = c^2 \n" ); document.write( "So now you substitute: \n" ); document.write( "28^2 + 45^2 = c^2 \n" ); document.write( "784 + 2025 = c^2 \n" ); document.write( "2809 = c^2 \n" ); document.write( "c = sqrt(2809) \n" ); document.write( "c = 53 ft \n" ); document.write( " |
