Question

The triangle has a base of 15 yards and a diagonal of 18 yards what is the height of the triangle
round to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

To find the height of the triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem.

Let the height of the triangle be h.

We know that the base of the triangle is 15 yards and the diagonal is 18 yards.

Using the Pythagorean theorem, we have:

(Height)^2 + (Base)^2 = (Diagonal)^2
h^2 + 15^2 = 18^2
h^2 + 225 = 324
h^2 = 99
h = √99
h ≈ 9.9 yards

Therefore, the height of the triangle is approximately 9.9 yards.
