Answer:
17.89 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
8^2 +16^2 = c^2
64+ 256 = c^2
320 =c^2
Taking the square root of each side
sqrt(320) = sqrt(c^2)
sqrt(64*5) = c
sqrt(64) sqrt(5) =c
8 sqrt(5) = c
17.88854382=c
