Answer:
50 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
This is the pythagorean theorem, so you should use the formula...
a squared + b squared = c squared
Then substitute in the numbers... (remember, a and b are the legs, and c is the hypotenuse)
14 squared + 48 squared = c squared
14 squared = 14 x 14 = 196
Now we have 196 + 48 squared = c squared
48 squared = 48 x 48 = 2,304
Now we have 196 + 2,304 = c squared
Add them together - 2,304 + 196 = 2,500
Now we have 2,500 = c squared
We find the square root of 2,500 which is 50
You should now have 50 = c
That is your answer. Don't forget to add units.
50 ft is your hypotenuse (c)
