Question

Answer quick, please!! Bart built a model of his sailboat, pictured below, to display in his office. The height of the sails is 26 inches and the length of each diagonal side of the sails measures 32 inches. Based on this information, what is the total length of both sails? Round your answer to the nearest whole inch.

Answer 1

Hey hun! 49.8 would be your answer! have an amazing day!

Answer 2

49.8 inches

Explanation:

a^2+b^2=c^2

The hypotenuse, 32 inches, when squared should equal 26 squared plus the square root of the difference of the squares.

32^2-26^2=x^2

x multiplied by 2 should be your answer.

`2(√(36^2-26^2) )`

Around 49.8 is your answer.
