Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

29.25^2 = 855.5625

each length there is 213.89

13^2 = 169

each length here is

42.25

So a^2+b^2 = c^2 (or how i look at it leg^2 + leg^2 = H^2)

42.25^2+213.89^2 = x^2

1785.06+45,748.9321 = x^2

47533.9921 = x^2

then you square eacj side to get x to be alone.


√(47533.9921)= x

218.02 = x
