Answer:

About 4.5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

using Pythagorean Theorem : a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(2)^2 + (4)^2 = c^2

4 + 16 = c^2

20 = c^2

Take the the square root of 20 using a calculator and you get 4.47.

Round that up to 4.5

-4(n - 6) = 12<br><br> Solve the Equation.
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
-4(n - 6) = 12

n - 6 = -12/4   divide both sides by -4

n - 6 = -3

n = -3 + 6    add both sides by 6

n = 3

hope that helps, God bless!
