Use the pythagorean theorem. first find the diagonal in the bottom triangle 12^2 + 35^2 = x^2

OpenStudy (errinss):

x=37^2

OpenStudy (peachpi):

well just 37. then do the same with the triangle that has the golf club, diagonal, and 15 in side. Can you set that one up?

OpenStudy (errinss):

\[15^2+37^2=x^2\] right?

OpenStudy (peachpi):

right

OpenStudy (errinss):

so x=38.07

OpenStudy (peachpi):

no, but it's close. what did you get before you took the square root.

OpenStudy (errinss):

1450

OpenStudy (peachpi):

15^2 + 37^2 = x^2 225 + 1369 = x^2

OpenStudy (errinss):

oh lol i think i did the wrong number for 37 lol

OpenStudy (errinss):

39.9

OpenStudy (peachpi):

yes

OpenStudy (errinss):
