Answer 1

Answer:

By using the Pythagorean Theorem, we know that the length of the slide is 17 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve this equation.

$a^2+b^2=c^2$

a = 8

b = 15

Now, let's plug in these numbers so we can know the length of the slide.

$8^2+15^2=c^2\\64+225=c^2\\289=c^2\\\sqrt{289}=\sqrt{c^2}\\17=c$

So, the length of the slide is 17 ft which is answer choice C.

Answer 2

Answer:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

8^2 + 15^2 = c^2

64 + 225 = c^2

289 = c^2

$\sqrt{289}$ = c
