Question

There is a statue that is 12 feet tall. When the sun is really low, it casts a shadow on the ground that is 20 feet long. What is the distance from the top of the statue to the top of the shadow?​

Answer 1

sqrt 544 feet

Explanation:

Pythagorean theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2

12^2 + 20^2= c^2

144+400=c^2

544=c^2

c= sqrt 544
