Answer:

60.8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

you can find the height of the triangle by using what you know about the area

A = 1/2bh

950 = 1/2(50)·h

950 = 25h

h = 950/25 = 38

To find hypotenuse you can use the Pythagorean Theorem:

38² + 50² = c²

1444 + 2500 = c²

c² = 3944

c = √3944 ≈ 62.8
