Answer:
14
Step-by-step explanation:
a2+(48)2=
502\,\,50^{2}502
Use the Pythagorean Theorem.
a2+2304=a^{2}+2304=a2+2304=
2500\,\,25002500
Simplify.
−2304-2304\phantom{=}−2304=
−2304\,\,-2304−2304
Subtract 2304 from both sides.
a2=a^{2}=a2=
196\,\,196196
a2=\sqrt{a^{2}}=a2
=
±196\,\,\pm\sqrt{196}±196
Square root both sides.
a=a=a=
14\,\,1414
Simplify. Ignore negative root, as length must be positive.
