To find the length of the hypotenuse (c), you can use the Pythagorean theorem, which states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides.

So in this case, with side lengths of 48ft and 55ft, you can set up the equation:

c^2 = 48^2 + 55^2
c^2 = 2304 + 3025
c^2 = 5329

Next, take the square root of both sides to find the length of the hypotenuse:

c = √5329
c ≈ 73

Therefore, the length of the hypotenuse is approximately 73 feet.
