The length of the other side of the wall is √500 ft

Pythagoras theorem

To get the length of 'd', we will use the pythagoras theorem as shown below:

Given the following

  • Hypotenuse = 30ft
  • Adjacent = 20ft

According to the theorem;

[tex]h^2=a^2+d^2\\30^2 = 20^2 + d^2\\900 = 400 + d^2\\d^2 = 900 - 400\\d = \sqrt{500} ft[/tex]

Hence the length of the other side of the wall is √500 ft
