Question

Use the figure to find the Slant Height. 4 5 √(11)

Answer 1

`height = 4`

Explanation:

By the Pythagorean Theorem, we know:

`a^2 + b^2 = c^2`

Where
`c` is the slope.

Here we see the following:

`a = 3\\b = ???\\c = 5`

Plug in the numbers:

`3^2 + b^2 = 5^2\\9 + b^2 = 25\\b^2 = 16\\b = √(16)\\ b = 4`
