Answer 1

Answer:

A. 16.12 ft  B.  9.64 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

For both of these, you need Pythagorean's Theorem because we have right triangles.  In part A, we are given 2 legs and are asked to find the length of the hypotenuse:

$14^2+8^2=PR^2$ and

$196+64=PR^2$

and PR = 16.12 ft

In part B, we are given the length of the hypotenuse and side PQ remains the same:

$14^2+QR^2=17^2$ and

$196+QR^2=289$

$QR^2=289-196$ so

QR = 9.64 ft
