Question

I need to know how to solve this (Pythagorean theorem) and the answer

Answer 1

Answer:

≈ 106.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagorean Therorem: $a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}$  

Equation: $28^{2} + b^{2} = 110^{2}$

$784 + b^{2} = 12100$

-784           -784

$b^{2} = 11316$

$\sqrt{b^{2} } = \sqrt{11316}$

= 106.3766892

Round to nearest tenth:

≈ 106.4

Hope I helped :)

Answer 2

Answer:

114.4

Step-by-step explanation:

using pythagorean theorem can help you find more than just the hypotenuse.

you can solve for any variable... a, b, and c

pythagorean theorem is: a^2 + b^2 = c^2

plug in your variables. remember that c represents the hypotenuse, so it must go there.

28^2 + b^2 = 110^2

784 + b^2 = 12100

-784              -784

b^2 = 11316

now take the square root of both...

b = 106.376689

round to nearest tenth.

b = 106.4

*** dont forget about the extra 8 feet! ***

just add 8 to your solution

114.4

i hope this was helpful!

stay safe!
