Answer: ≈ 187.5 yd. (rounded)
Step-by-step explanation:
You can use the Pythagorean theorem, since this is a right triangle. Plug the values into the theorem accordingly:
a²+b²=c²
So 170²+79²=c² and you are solving for c.
28900+6241=c²
35141=c²
Root both sides:
[tex]\sqrt{35141}[/tex]=c
Rounded to the nearest tenth, c≈187.5 yd.
