Question

a square is put together by two triangles. The hypotenuse is 11 cm and the width of 8 cm. what is the height of the triangle

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

by applying the pythagoras theorem

let the height of triangle =x

(11)^2=8^2+x^2

121=64+x^2

121-64=x^2

57=x^2

x=√57

hence height of triangle=x=√57 units
