    We are given the two sides of the right triangle therefore we can use the pythagorean theorem to solve for the third side. This theorem states that, in a right triangle the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the square of each leg.

    c² = a² + b²

    70² = 35² + b²

    b = √70² - 35²

    b = 60.62 feet
