The answer is 112 centimeters.
As this problem represents a right triangle, here we need to apply the Pythagorean Theorem.
- h = √113² - 15²
- h = √12769 - 225
- h = √12544
- h = 112 centimeters

Answer:
v = 9/2 + sqrt(61)/2 or v = 9/2 - sqrt(61)/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for v over the real numbers:
-v^2 + 9 v - 5 = 0
Multiply both sides by -1:
v^2 - 9 v + 5 = 0
Subtract 5 from both sides:
v^2 - 9 v = -5
Add 81/4 to both sides:
v^2 - 9 v + 81/4 = 61/4
Write the left hand side as a square:
(v - 9/2)^2 = 61/4
Take the square root of both sides:
v - 9/2 = sqrt(61)/2 or v - 9/2 = -sqrt(61)/2
Add 9/2 to both sides:
v = 9/2 + sqrt(61)/2 or v - 9/2 = -sqrt(61)/2
Add 9/2 to both sides:
Answer: v = 9/2 + sqrt(61)/2 or v = 9/2 - sqrt(61)/2
