Answer:

C

Explanation:

It's a right triangle so you can use a squared +b squared =c squared

a and b are the legs of the triangle which in this case are 50 and 25 feet.

Plug them into the equation:

50^2+25^2=c^2

50 squared = 2,500

25 squared = 625

2,500 + 625= 3,125

so c squared is 3,125. To get c you need the square root which is ~55 feet

Answer:

61 feet

Explanation:

We can use the pythagorean theorem to solve this answer (a^2 + b ^2 = c^2, c= longest length)

50^2 + 35^2 = 61.03.

Rounded to the nearest whole number, the answer is D.
