Answer by stanbon(75887) About Me  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You need to understand the Pythagorean equation c^2=a^2+b^2
You need to find "c"; you have a=35 and you have b=65.
So, c = sqrt (35^2 + 65^2)
I don't have my calculator here so I'll leave the computation
in your hands.
