Pythagoras Theorem gives us a relation between the sides of right triangle . According to the Pythagoras , Square of hypotenuse if equal to sum of square of other two sides.

Right triangle has three side where longest side is given 20 feet and shortest side is 16

Using Pythagoras Theorem ,

(20)² = (16)² + (third side)²

(third side)² = 400 - 256  

(third side)² = 144

taking square root

third side = 12 feet

Total feet required = 20 + 16 + 12

= 48 feet
