Answer:

Clara wants to build a fence for her farm animals, in the shape of a right triangle. She knows that she wants side A to be 20 feet long, and side B to be 35 feet long. How many feet of fencing does she need to buy in total?

Solve this by figuring out the length of side C, and then adding sides A, B, and C together.
