Logan takes a sheet of paper and makes a diagonal cut from one corner to the opposite corner, making two triangles. The cut he makes is 50 centimetres long and the width of the paper is 48 centimetres. What is the paper's length?

Hypotenuse = 50  Leg 1 = 48    50^2 = 48^2 + L^@

50^2 - 48^2 = L^2

14 cm = L
