Chapter 0.8, Problem 1E

To determine

To evaluate: the missing measure in the right angle triangle.

Answer to Problem 1E

The length of missing measure is 50.21 feet .

Explanation of Solution

Given information :

Diagram is given in the problem.

The diagram is given in the question,

  

Applying Pythagoras theorem,

So,

  $\begin{array}{l}{\left(15ft\right)}^2+{\left(36ft\right)}^2={\left(\text{c }ft\right)}^2\\ c^2=225+1296\\ c^2=2521\\ c=50.21ft\end{array}$

So,

The length of missing measure is 50.21 feet .
