What is a Pythagoras theorem?

The Pythagoras theorem states that the sum of two squares equals the squared of the longest side.

The Pythagoras theorem formula is given as

H² = P² + B²

From first triangle, the length of hypotenuse will be

H² = 20² + 8²

H² = 400 + 64

H² = 464 feet

From second triangle, the missing length will be

464 = 10² + B²

B² = 464 – 100

 B = 19.07 ≈ 19.1 feet

Then the correct option is B.
