The two points where they end and the point where they start form a right triangle, one leg is 12, the other leg is 15, you need to find the hypotenuse.
use the Pythagorean theorem: 12²+15²=c²
c≈19
they are about 19 feet apart.
The answer is 254.35 in square
Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the height.
Height = sqrt(26^2-10^2)
Height = 24 cm
Volume = 20^2 x 24/3
Volume = 7,200 cm^3
