Question

In a right triangle shaped house the roof is 51 feet long and the base of the house is 29 feet across calculate the height of the hose

Answer 1

The house is in Shape of Right angle triangle.

So by Pythagoras

Hypo²=Base²+height²

hypo = 51

base =29

Height =?.

Substituting in the formula

51²=29²+h²

51²-29²=h²

2601-841=h²

1760=h²

h=√1760

h=41.95
