Hector is about to ride a straight water slide. The launching platform is at the top of a tower that is 60 feet tall. The splash pool at the end of the slide is 80 feet from the base of the tower. How long is the water slide itself?

Answer:The measure of water slide is 100 feet     Step-by-step explanation:Given as :The measure of launching platform (AB) = 60 feet The measure of splash pool from the base of tower (BC)= 80 feet The length of water slid (AC) =  L feetSo , Pythgoras Theorem       H² = P² + B²       (AC)² = (AB)² + (BC)² Or,   L² = (60)² + (80)² Or,   L² = 3600 + 6400 So ,  L² = 10000 ∴      L = [tex]\sqrt{10000}[/tex] = 100 feetHence The measure of water slide is 100 feet    Answer
