A triangle is cut from a square. The area of the square is 59 cm2. Approximate the height of the triangle to three decimal places.

Answer 1

To solve this problem, we need to know the dimensions of the square. Since the area of the square is given as 59 cm^2, we can assume it is a perfect square and take the square root of 59 to find the length of each side.

Let's call the length of each side of the square "s". Then the area of the square is s^2.

Given: s^2 = 59 cm^2

Taking the square root of both sides, we find:

s = √59 ≈ 7.68 cm (rounded to two decimal places)

Since a triangle is cut from the square, we need to find the height of this triangle. Let's call the height "h". To find "h", we need to know the shape of the triangle and if the triangle is a right triangle, we need to identify which side is the height.

Without additional information, it is impossible to determine the height of the triangle.

Therefore, we cannot approximate the height of the triangle to three decimal places without further information.
