the slide at the playground has a height of 6 feet.The base of the slide measured on the ground is 8 feet.what is the length of the sliding board?

The formula for finding the length is
[tex] {a}^{2} + {b}^{2} = {c}^{2} [/tex]
All we have to do is plug in the numbers.

[tex] {6}^{2} + {8}^{2} = {c}^{2} [/tex]
36 + 64 = 100

Since 100 =
[tex] {c}^{2} [/tex]
we have to find the square root.

[tex] \sqrt{100} = 10[/tex]

The length of the slide is 10 feet.
