Question

Ms Thomson is standing 15 away from the church.The distance from his feet to the top of the church is 17.5m as shown below.calculate the height of the church.Use the theorem of pythagoras I.e.r2=×2+h2

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

SQUARE OF HEIGHT OF THE CHURCH =

SQUARE OF DISTANCE FROM HIS FEET TO THE TOP OF THE CHURCH - SQUARE OF DISTANCE STANDING AWAY FROM THE CHURCH

H² = 17.5² - 15²

H² = 306.25 - 225

H² = 81.25

H = √81.25

H = 9.013878188659973 m
