This sounds like a right triangle.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
76.4^2 + b^2 = 95.5^2
5836.96 + b^2 = 9120.25
b^2 = 3283.29
b = 57.3 feet
During the half-time show of a football game, a trumpet player and a tuba player start at the same position on the field. The trumpet player then marches 76.4 ft directly toward the goal line, and the tuba player marches directly toward the sideline. At the end of their march, the tuba player is 95.5 ft from the trumpet player. How far did the tuba player march?
