Answer:
C. 30 ft
Step-by-step 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.
30 ft
10^2 + y^2 = 32^2
100 + y^2 = 1024
y^2 = 924
y = 30.397
Answer: 30 ft
