The correct answer is Choice B: 53.0 feet.

If you draw a picture of the cross section, you will have a right triangle. The hypotenuse is 58 and one of the legs is 23.6. All you have to do is use the Pythagorean Theorem and solve for the missing side.

x^2 + 23.6^2 = 58^2

xeze [42]
If you would like to know how many paperback books did the store sell in a month, you can calculate this using the following steps:

paperback books: 70% of the sold books = 70% of 1,250 books = 70% * 1,250 = 70/100 * 1,250 = 875 books

The correct result would be 875 paperback books.
