A house on stilts is shown where each stilt is 15 feet (ft) long. Matias built 5 braces and places each brace as shown. Each brace is 17 ft long.

Respuesta :

Given :

stilt length- 15 feet

number of braces- 5

length of base using Pythagorean's theorem:

base length= √17²-15²

                   =√289-225

                   =√64 =8

length of base we got = 8

length of house= base length × number of braces

                          = 8×5 = 40 feet

length of house= 40 feet
