what is the length of the hypotenuse? if necessary, round to the nearest tenth.
c = yards

Explanation:

Step1: Apply Pythagorean theorem

$$a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}$$
Here \(a = 39\), \(b = 80\).

Step2: Substitute values

$$39^{2}+80^{2}=c^{2}$$
$$1521 + 6400=c^{2}$$
$$7921=c^{2}$$

Step3: Solve for \(c\)

$$c=\sqrt{7921}$$
$$c = 89$$

Answer:

\(89\)
