and what is the distance jeremy ran up the stairs is _ feet. (round to the nearest tenth of a foot)

4² + 5² = x²

Step-by-step explanation:

From the picture, the height of the staircase is:

h = 20 ft -15 ft = 5 ft

And the distance between the staircase and the building is 4 ft.

A right triangle is formed, where the distance between the staircase and the building (4) and the height of the staircase (5) are the legs, and the length of the staircase (x) is the hypotenuse. Using Pythagorean theorem:

4² + 5² = x²

boxplot

the answer is b: 18

step-by-step explanation:

use the pythagorean theorem to .

a^2+b^2=c^2

plug 18 for "r"

the 2 legs are 18 and 24

18^2+24^2=c^2

324+576=c^2

900=c^2

c=30

30-12=18

18 is the radius
