Answer:
- 10.9ft
- 13.7ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for Pythagorean theorem is [ a² + b² = c² ]. We are already given "a" and "c" for both problems, so, solve the theorem for b.
Question 1:
5² + b² = 12²
25 + b² = 144
b² = 119
√b = √119
b ≈ 10.9ft
Question 2:
6² + b² = 15²
36 + b² = 225
b² = 189
√b = √189
b = 13.7ft
Best of Luck!
