Answer 1

Answer: 130 ft

Explanation:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Where a and b are the legs that form the right angle and c is the hypotenuse (the side directly opposite of the right angle)

50^2 + 120^2 = c ^2

2,500 + 14,400 = c^2

16,900 = c^2

Take the square root of 16,900 to get c.

C = 130

Hypotenuse length is 130
