Question

in one zipline in canopy, rider drops 58 feet while covering distance of 840 ft along the ground, how long is the zipline?

Answer 1

842 feet

Explanation:

If you draw this, you have a right triangle and you can use the Pythagorean Theorem.

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

`58^(2)` +
`840^(2)` =
`c^(2)`

3364 + 705600 =
`c^(2)`

708964 =
`c^(2)`

`√(708964)` =
`\sqrt{c^(2) }`

842 = c
