By the Pythagorean Theorem:

h^2=x^2+y^2

Which just means that the hypotenuse (longest side) squared is equal to the sum of the side lengths squared...in this case:

h^2=5^2+13^2

h^2=25+169

h^2=194

h=√194

h≈13.93 in (to nearest hundredth of an inch)

Mckensey is correct as shown above.

Cara's mistake was in letting c be a side length instead of the length of the hypotenuse...

= 5,418.2

Hence Maria's altitude at the end of her climb is 5,418.2 feet
