Answer:

[tex]\sqrt{106}\ ft[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

Any right triangle, must satisfy the Pythagorean Theorem

so

[tex]c^2=a^2+b^2[/tex]

where

c is the hypotenuse (greater side)

a and b are the legs (perpendicular sides)

substitute the given values

[tex]c^2=5^2+9^2[/tex]

[tex]c^2=106[/tex]

[tex]c=\sqrt{106}\ ft[/tex]
