Answer:

√65 ft = 8.1 ft

Explanation:

We solve using Pythagoras Theorem

c² = a² + b²

c = √a² + b²

Where c = Length of the Hypotenuse

a = 4ft , b = 7ft

Hence

c = √4² + 7²

c = √16 + 49

c = √(65)

c = 8.0622577483 ft

Approximately = 8.1 ft

Therefore, the length of the hypotenuse is √65 ft = 8.1 ft
