Question

Plz i need help i don't get this one

Answer 1

Answer:

d = 16.3 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a right triangle, so we can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 +b^2 = c^2

where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

d^2 + 24^2 = 29^2  where d is the distance

d^2 +576 = 841

Subtract 576 from each side

d^2 +576-576 = 841-576

d^2 =265

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(d^2) = sqrt(265)

d = sqrt(265)

d =16.2788206

To the nearest tenth

d = 16.3 ft
