Answer:

30 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

For this, you have to use pythagoras' theorem - a^2=b^2+c^2, or to work out the hypotenuse - a^2=b^2-c^2, where b is the hypotenuse.

You just need to substitute the numbers into this formula to get 32.5^2-12.5^2=900.

The you work out the square root of 900, which is 30.
