Answer:
7.8
Option A is the correct option.
Step-by-step explanation:
Base (b) = 5 ft
Perpendicular (P) = 6 ft
Hypotenuse (h) = ?
Now,
Using Pythagoras theorem,
[tex] {h}^{2} = {p}^{2} + {b}^{2} [/tex]
[tex] {h}^{2} = {(6)}^{2} + {(5)}^{2} [/tex]
[tex] {h}^{2} = 36 + 25[/tex]
[tex] {h}^{2} = 61[/tex]
[tex]h = \sqrt{61} [/tex]
[tex]h = 7.8 \: ft[/tex]
Hope this helps...
Good luck on your assignment
