Question

LAST ATTEMPT IM MARKING AS BRAINLIEST!! (Pythagorean theorem )

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean theorem is:

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

where c is the hypotenuse.

The two wires in the sketch are the hypotenuse so we just use the formula

let the wires=x

So:

${x}^{2} = {12}^{2} + {6}^{2}$

${x}^{2} = 144 + 36$

${x}^{2} = 180$

$x = \sqrt{180}$

$x = 13.42$ feet
