35
feet. The distance from the slide to the bench is 12
12
feet. Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the distance from the bench to the swings.

Answer 1

The Pythagorean theorem is a^2+b^2=c^2 where a and b are legs and c is the hypotenuse(longest side). you haven’t put a picture so I don’t know where 35 is a leg or the hypotenuse, but all you have to do is square the 2 shorter sides and add them and set it equal to the square of the longer side. You can do it!
