Answer: 1.7

Step-by-step explanation: We can use the pythagorean theorem!

A² + B² = C²

1² + B² = 2²

1 + B² = 4

4 - 1 = B²

3 = B²

√3 = B

1.7 = B

Hope this helps :)

Since it’s a right triangle, use Pythagorean theorem
a^2 + b^2 = c^2 (long hypothenuse side)
1^2 + b^2 = 2^2
1 + b^2 = 4
b^2 = 3
b = square root 3 = 1.7321 round it
Solution: 1.7 ft
