Denesh is creating a triangular flower bed using three pieces of wood. the two shorter pieces of wood have lengths of 7 feet and 24 feet. how long , in feet , should the third piece of wood be for denesh to create a right triangle?

The third piece of wood that for denesh need to create to form a right triangle is:

                              25 feet.

We are given two shorter legs of a wood of lengths as:

          7 feet and 24 feet.

We know that in a right angled triangle with two shorter sides as a and b the longer length or the hypotenuse of the triangle of length c is given by Pythagorean Theorem as:

We have:

a=7 and b=24

Hence,

      Hence, the length of the third piece of wood should be:

                             25 feet.
