Question

Please help me solve

Answer 1

30 ft

Explanation:

10^2 + y^2 = 32^2

100 + y^2 = 1024

y^2 = 924

y = 30.397

Answer: 30 ft

Answer 2

C. 30 ft

Explanation:

Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²

When we draw out a picture, we should see that we use the Pythagorean Theorem to help solve our missing height:

10² + b² = 32²

b² = 32² - 10²

b = √924

b = 2√231 or 30.3974

Round that to 30 feet.
