Answer:

To solve this question, you'll require a pictorial illustration of the situation. Kindly check attached document for that.
Since it's a right angle triangle, we have two sides with one sides unknown, we can use pythagorean theorem to find the third side.
The hypothenus (x) is 10ft
The adjacent is (y) 4 ft
The opposite (z) (height of the wall) is unknown.
X² = Y² + Z²
10² = 4² + Z²
100 = 16 + Z²
Z² = 100 - 16
Z² = 84
Z = √(84)
Z = 9.165 = 9.17ft
The height of the wall is 9.17ft
