I might give you a brainliest if your answer is correct and you have a good explanation.

Answer 1

Answer:

9.74 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

the formula for finding a hypotenuse is $a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}$. We can rearrange that to get: $c^2 - b^2 = a^2$. So: 49 + b^2 = 144. We get the square root of 95, AKA around 9.74.
