Question

Math question pre algebra

Answer 1

Option B

Explanation:

By applying Pythagoras theorem in the given right triangle,

(Hypotenuse)² = (leg 1)² + (leg 2)²

By substituting the values in the given expression,

7² = x² + 2²

49 = x² + 4

x² = 49 - 4

x² = 45

x = √45

x = 3√5

x = 6.7 ft

Option B will be the correct option.
