A builder makes staircases where each step is 28/,/text{cm}28cm28, start text, c, m, end text long and rises 18/,/text{cm}18cm18, start text, c, m, end text so people don't trip. Every staircase has a stringer - a diagonal support connecting all of the steps. A certain staircase will have 666 steps. What is the length / ellℓell of the stringer for this staircase? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a centimeter. / text{cm}cmstart text, c, m, end text

    Each step has a diagonal aka hypotenuse h that satisfies

    h² = 28² + 18² = 1108

    The total length of 666 diagonals is

    l = 666h = 666 √1108 ≈ 22168.898213488195

    Answer: 22168.9 cm
