OpenStudy (ivettef365):
use Pythagorean theorem, you have right triangle, find hyp which is segment PQ

I used the Pythagorean theorem and i still didn't seem to the right answer @ivettef365
OpenStudy (ivettef365):
ok you have one side = (from 6 to 10) = 4
the other side = 12
so you have
4^2 + 12^2 = c^2 solve for c
