Answer:
≈ 10.63
Step-by-step explanation:
Pythagorean Theorem... Possibly the most easy theory in math once you understood it.
Here's the formula.
AB would be the hypothenuse
BC would be the opposite
CA would be the Adjacent.
But let's not make it complicated though, the question is actually quite easy.
You are asked to find AB, the hypothenuse.
The hypothenuse would be C.
BC and CA would be A and B.
It doesn't matter where are you going to place the numbers.
So,
= 113
Now we would have to square root 113 since
is an irrational number, and the question asks you to round ro the nearest tenth.
=10.63014581
≈ 10.63
Your answer would be 10.63
Hope this answer helped :)

Answer: <u>
100 ft</u>
is the hypotenuse</h3>
===================================================
Work Shown:
a = 60 and b = 80 are the two known sides
c is the unknown hypotenuse
Applying the pythagorean theorem gets us...
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
60^2 + 80^2 = c^2
3600 + 6400 = c^2
10,000 = c^2
c^2 = 10,000
c = sqrt(10,000)
c = 100
A quick way to see that 100 ft is the missing side is to note that a 6,8,10 right triangle scales up to 60,80,100 after multiplying all three sides by 10.
Or you could start with a 3,4,5 right triangle and multiply all three sides by 20.
The answer is A. a=(-1) b=(7)
