Answer:
The height of the dog house = 4 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
The shape of the dog house is like a tent.
The slant heights of the house is 5 feet.
The bottom of the house is 6 feet across.
To find the height of the dog house at its tallest point.
Solution:
On drawing the figure of the dog house in the shape of a tent, we find out that the tallest point would be at the midpoint of the bottom of the house.
Thus, we ave a right triangle, of which one leg = and hypotenuse =
<em>Applying Pythagorean theorem to find the measure of the other leg which is the height of the house.</em>
Plugging in values.
Subtracting both sides by 9.
Taking square root both sides.
Thus, the height of the dog house = 4 feet.
