Answer:

The answer is 68 ft

Explanation:

Since the triangle is a right angled triangle we can use Pythagoras theorem to find the missing side a

Using Pythagoras theorem we have

a² = b² + c²

where

a is the hypotenuse

So we have


{a}^(2) = {60}^(2) + {32}^(2) \\ a = √(3600 + 1024) \\ a = √(4624)

We have the final answer as

68 ft

Hope this helps you
