Question

The slideat the playground has a height of 6ft. The base of the slide measured on the ground is 8ft. What is the length of the slide?

Answer 1

10 ft

Explanation:

The length of the slide can be determined using Pythagoras theorem

The Pythagoras theorem : a² + b² = c²

where a = length

b = base

c = hypotenuse

6² + 8² =

36 + 64 = 100

c = √100

c = 10
