You can see that you have a right triangle in the figure is a right triangle, which means that you can find the hypotenuse using the Pythagorean theorem:


d = √(30^2+40^2)=√(900+1600)=√(2500) = 50

Answer:

50 ft

Explanation:

Use the Pythagorean theorem:


leg^2+leg^2=hypotenuse^2

We have


leg=40ft,\ leg=30ft,\ hypotenuse=x

Substitute:


40^2+30^2=x^2\\\\1600+900=x^2\\\\2500=x^2\to x=√(2500)\\\\x=50\ ft
