    Answer:

    9.6

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Use the Pythagorean Theorem

    a² + b² = c²

    Plug in the knowns

    a² + 22² = 24²

    Subtract 22² from both sides

    a² = 24² – 22²

    a² = 576 – 484

    a² = 92

    Take the square root of both sides

    a = 9.591663046625438

    Rounded

    a = 9.6 ft
