In the image, the distance from the swings to the slide is 35 35 feet. the distance from the slide to the bench is 12 12 feet. use the pythagorean theorem to find the distance from the bench to the swings.

37.403

Step-by-step explanation:

a2 + b2 = c2

(The 2 is squared)

(35)2 + (12)2 = c2

1225 + 144 = c2

c = 37.403

37 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose S represents the Swing, S' represents the slide and B represents the Bench,

According to the diagram,

In triangle SS'B,

SS' = 35 feet,

S'B = 12 feet,

Also, ∠SS'B = 90°,

Thus, by the Pythagorean theorem,

Hence, the distance from the bench to the swings is 37 feet.
