Question 829941: y%5E2+=+x%5E2+%2B12%5E2 represents the Pythagoras theorem, where one side a right triangle is 12ft, the other side is x and y is the hypotenuse of the right triangle. If x is 25ft, how many feet is y?

The given equation is: y%5E2+=+x%5E2+%2B+12%5E2
If x = 25ft,
y%5E2+=+%2825%29%5E2+%2B+%2812%29%5E2
y%5E2+=+625+%2B+144
y%5E2+=+769
y+=+sqrt%28769%29
y+=+27.7+ft

You can round up like this: y+=+28+ft
