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( "
\n" );
