Answer :

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.
