Another wooden plank is leaning against an outside wall of a building. The bottom of the plank is 9 ft from the wall. The length
of the plank is 41 ft. Find each of the following values, and show all your work. (a) Find the value of x. Round to the nearest tenth of a degree. (b) Find the height above the ground where the plank touches the wall. Round to the nearest foot. sorry the link for the triangle isn't working
Answer: do your values into the equation A=1/2bh and do the math. First multiply the base (b) by 1/2, then divide the area (A) by the product. The resulting value will be the height of your triangle!
