Answer:

the answer is 17 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

you have to use the pythagorean theorem.

$a^{2}$ + $b^{2}$ = $c^{2}$

for a is 15 and b is 8

$15^{2} + 8^{2} = 289$

289 = $c\^{2}$

$\sqrt{289}$ = 17

therefore, the distance is 17 feet.

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

Statement: AB=CD, BC=AD

Reason: By definition of parallelogram .

Statement: AC=AC

Reason: Reflexive property of equality.

Step-by-step explanation:

1.Statement: $\angle ABC\cong \angle BCD,\angle BAD\cong \angle ADC$ .

Reason: For parallel lines cut by a transversal , corresponding angles are congruent.

2.Statement:AB=CD,BC=AD

Reason: By definition of parallelogram.

3.Statement: AC=AC

Reason: Reflexive property of equality.

4.Statement: $\triangle ABC\cong \triangle CDA$ .

Reason: SSS criterion for congruence.

5.Statement: $AB\cong CD, BC\cong AD$ .

Reason: Given .

6.Statement: $AB\parallel CD, BC\parallel AD$ .

Reason: By definition of parallelogram.
