The two points where they end and the point where they start form a right triangle, one leg is 12, the other leg is 15, you need to find the hypotenuse.
use the Pythagorean theorem: 12²+15²=c²
c≈19
they are about 19 feet apart.
Answer:
12.5
Step-by-step explanation:
4+21=25
25/2=12.5
Answer:
x = 14
Step-by-step explanation:
Since they are similar triangles, their sides are proportional
12 : 15 :: 8 : x - 4
Product of extremes = Product of means
12 × ( x- 4 ) = 15 × 8
12x -48 = 120
12x = 120 + 48
12x = 168
x = 168/12
x = 14
