Answer:

28.4253408071... ft

Explanation:

If you are saying that the diameter is the hypotenuse of the triangle, then we can use Pythagora's theorem to solve for it:


a^2+b^2=c^2\\18^2+22^2=c^2\\324+484=c^2\\808=c^2\\28.4253408071...=c

If the question doesn't mention rounding, then that's our answer.
