The three numbers are x , x + 21 and x + 27.
The greatest of the 3 numbers is x + 27, so x + 27 has to be the hypotenuse.
----------------------------------------------
Pythagoras Theorem
----------------------------------------------
a² + b² = c²
x² + (x+21)² = (x+27)²
x² + x² + 42x + 441 = x² + 54x + 729
x² - 12x -288 = 0
(x - 24)(x + 12) = 0
x = 24 or x = -12 (rejected, length cannot be negative)
----------------------------------------------
Find hypotenuse
----------------------------------------------
Hypotenuse = x + 27 = 24 + 27 = 51 units
-----------------------------------------------
Answer: 51 units

You have to include a drawing that relates the distace between de towers and some angles.
I will use one that gives the angle from the base of Seafirst Tower to the top of Columbia tower as 53 degress.
This lets you calculate the distance between the towers, d, as
tan(53) = 954 / d => d = 954 / tan(53) = 718.89ft
The same drawing gives the angle from the the base of the Columbtia tower to the top of the Seafirst Tower as 27 degrees.
Tnen, tan(27) = height / d => height = d*tan(27) = 718.89*tan(27) = 366.29 ft
Answer: 366.29 ft
4 to the 1st is 4
4 to the 2nd is 16
4 to the 3rd is 64
<span>4 to the 4th is 256</span>
(-2,0) and (0,4) because these are the points where the two lines meet :)
