Answer:

29.83 ft

Explanation:

First, you find the square root of 445, which is 21.09.

Then you use the Pythagorean theorem, which is a^2 + b^2 = c^2

because a and b are the same value you plug it in

21.09^2+21.09^2 = c^2

You end up getting:

c^2=889/5762

You then square root both sides to get:

c = 29.83, which is option 3
