Question

Answer 1

75 inches is the answer.

Answer 2

Hello!

You can use this by using the Pythagorean theorem

$a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}$

c is the hypotenuse which is the angle opposite the right angle

a and b are the other two sides

you put the values in that you know

$72^{2} + b^{2} = 78^{2}$

square the numbers

5184 + $b^{2}$ = 6084

Subtract 5184 from both sides

$b^{2}$ = 900

Take the square root of 900

square root of 900 = 30

The answer is 30

Hope this helps!
