Answer:
Height of the brick portion of the wall is 5.61 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
Employees of the landscaping company used brick to build the top 2/3 of the wall. The total dimensions of the wall are 8 and 1/2 * 2 and 3/4 feet. So the height of the wall = 8 and 1/2 feet or in other words 8.75 feet.
Height of the brick portion of the wall = 2/3 * 8.5 = 0.66 * 8.5 = 5.61 feet
So the height of the brick portion of the wall is 5.61 feet.
Non brick portion of the wall is 8.5 - 5.61 = 2.89
Answer:
The Pythagorean theorem is a^2+b^2=c^2 where c is the length of the longest, diagonal side (diagonal means opposite the right angle/small square).
Step-by-step explanation:
If you're looking for a short side (i.e. next to the right angle), square the longest one and subtract the square of the other known.
If you're looking for a long side (i.e. opposite the right angle), square both you know and add them together.
In both cases, take the Square Root with your calculator, or by trial and error, find a number that squares to make your current number.
[1] A square of the number x is x times x.
