Answer:

Bc = √63 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the length of BC

As we can see, there is a right angled triangle ABC, with 12ft being the hypotenuse and 9 ft the other side

So we want to get the third leg which is BC

we can use the Pythagoras’ theorem here

And that states that the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the two other sides

let the missing length be x

12^2 = x^2 + 9^2

144 = x^2 + 81

x^2 = 144-81

x^2 = 63

x = √63 ft

(−6)^2<br> Need halp please
ziro4ka [17]
This is an EXPONENT. 

To do this all we need to do is multiply the base by itself how many times the power says.

(-6)² = (-6) × (-6) = 36

Recall that any negative number times another negative number is positive so that is why this would be positive.  

So, (-6)² = 36

Hope I helped ya!!
