Answer: 29.15

Explanation:


a^(2)+
b^(2)=
c^(2)


25^(2)+
15^(2)=
c^(2)

625+225=
c^(2)


√(850)=
\sqrt{c^(2) }

29.2=C

Answer:

29.2 ft

Explanation:

a^2 is the base so it’s how long the shadow is.

b^2 is the leg so it’s the height of the tree

c^2 is the hypotenuse so it’s the top of the tree to end of the shadow (what your trying to find)

25^2 + 15^2 = c^2

625+ 225= c^2

850= c^2

(square root both sides)

29.2= c
