Question

Each vertical cross-section of the triangular prism shown below is an isosceles triangle.

Answer 1

Answer:

Height is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

4.24 x 4.24 x 6

Right triangle base = a + b + c

                         a^2 + 3^2  =  4.24^2

= a^2 + 9                             = 17.98

We cross out b to subtract.

                                   a^2  = 17.98 - 9

                                    a^2 = 8.98

We then square         √a^2 = √8.98

                                    a = 2.996

We round up               a = 3                                

We have found the height is 3
