Answer 2

Answer:

48.5m

Step-by-step explanation:

Inside the wheat silo, forms a right anlged triangle.

By using the pythagoras theorem formula -

$c {}^{2}\: = a {}^{2} + b {}^{2}$

$c {}^{2} = 50 \: meters$

$a {}^{2} = 12meters$

$b {}^{2} = c {}^{2} - a {}^{2}$

$50 {}^{2} - 12 {}^{2} = b {}^{2}$

$2500 - 144 = 2356$

$b {}^{2} = 2356$

$b = 48.5meters$

Hence, the height of the wheat silo is 48.5m.
