Answer 1

Answer:

what is the mean of questions

Answer 2

Answer:

we will be using phytogoras theorem :

so we need to find height

Step-by-step explanation:

(h)^2 + (1/2(17))^2 =20^2

20^2 - (1/2(17)^2 = (h)^2

square root of 20^2 -(1/2(17)^2 = (h)

solving this you will get your answer.

we used 1/2 here because half scale of the base was given to us within the square base as a diagonal.

done.
