Answer:

29 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle.

The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides, that is

h² = 20² + 21² ( h is the hypotenuse )

   = 400 + 441 = 841 ( take the square root of both sides )

h = [tex]\sqrt{841}[/tex] = 29
