c+=+diagonal
a+=+48
b+=+24
.
Pythagorean Formula teaches:
c%5E2+=+a%5E2+%2B+b%5E2
.
a%5E2+=+48%5E2+
a%5E2+=+2304
.
b%5E2+=+24%5E2
b%5E2+=+576
.
a%5E2+%2B+b%5E2+=+2304+%2B+576
a%5E2+%2B+b%5E2+=+2880
c%5E2+=+a%5E2+%2B+b%5E2
c%5E2+=+2880
c+=+sqrt%282880%29
c+=+24+%2A+sqrt%285%29
c+=+53.6656315
c+=+53+%2B+.6656315
.
.6656315+%2A+12+=+7.987578
.
c is approximately 53 ft 8 in.
.
Done
