What is the length of the hypotenuse?​

The answer is c = 17 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the hypotenuse is a^2 + b^2 = c^2 (a squared plus b squared equals c squared).  

a = 8 feet

b = 15 feet

a^2 = 8 * 8 = 64

b^2 = 15 * 15 = 225

The next step is to add: 64 + 225 = 289

But we need to remember to square root 289 because we squared a and b.

The square root of 289 equals 17

c = 17 feet

answer:  

step-by-step explanation:

here x represents the height of the pole,

and, the height of the shadow of the pole is 12 feet.

also, the angle of elevation from the top of the pole is 40°,

therefore,

by the low of sine,

which is the required equation for finding the value of x,

6 meters
