What is the length of bc in the right triangle below

20

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve

a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

12^2+16^2 = c^2

144+256 = c^2

400 = c^2

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(400) = sqrt(c^2)

20 = c

its 8

step-by-step explanation:

7 ft 6 in means 7 1/2, because 6 in is 1/2 of a foot. 7 ft 8 in means 7 2/3 because 8 in is 2/3 of a foot. 23/3 = 7 2/3. 15/2 = 7 1/2.

23/3   *   15/2   = 57 1/2
