Answer:
6.3
Step-by-step explanation:
You can find the distance with a distance formula (need the points and it has a big, long square root) BUT, when you have an image like this graph you can totally see a right triangle and use the Pythagorean Theorem (distance formula is derived from Pythagorean theorem anyway) see image
To solve for the other leg, you need to use Pythagorean theory.
The theory states that C^2 = A^2 + B^2
In your case, you have to solve for B.
C = 40 (hypotenuse) A = 24 (leg 1)
The formula rewritten for B is
Now, you can solve.
Therefore, B = 32.
So the second leg is 32 feet.
