    30^2=A^2+18^2

    900=A^2+324

    900-324=A^2

    576=A^2

    24=A

    Length is 24 meters

    The length is: 24 meters

    Here's why

    So the hypotenuse theory or aka A^2 + B^2 = C^2 lets us know this:

    A = 18

    B = What we are looking for

    C = 30

    So before we apply these we're going to do some magic:

    B = sqrt (-A^2 + C^2)

    Now just put in the numbers

    B = sqrt (-18^2 + 30^2)

    B = sqrt (576)

    B = 24 meters
