Three streets intersect to form a right triangle as shown below. The parts of streets that make up the legs of this triangle are

Burka [1]

Answer:

70 yd.

Step-by-step explanation:

The three streets at the intersection form a right triangle.

For a right triangle, the length of the longest side (called hypothenuse) is given by Pythagorean's theorem:

$h=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}$

where

x is the length of the 1st side

y is the length of the 2nd side

h is the length of the hypothenuse

Here we want to find the hypothenuse.

We have:

x = 42 yd (length of the 1st side)

y = 56 yd (length of the 2nd side)

Substituting, we find h:

$h=\sqrt{42^2+56^2}=70 yd$
