Zachary climbs a 60-foot tower to ride a straight water slide. after landing in the splash pool, he walks 80 feet back to the base of the tower. how far did he travel in all?

240 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question , apply Pythagorean relationship

Lets assume ;the climbing, sliding and walking back to the base forms a right-angle triangle

The tower height = the height of the triangle, h=60f

The sliding lane= the hypotenuse of the triangle=?

\

The distance covered to the base= base of the triangle=80f

Applying the relation ;

a²+b²=c²

80²+60²=c²

6400+3600=c²

10000=c²

√10000=c

100=c

Distance traveled in all=100+60+80=240 feet
