Answer:

  a) 14√5 feet

  b) about 31.3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The 42-ft hose is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with one leg 28 ft. We are asked to find the other leg. The Pythagorean theorem is useful.

  h² +(28 ft)² = (42 ft)²

  h² = (1764 -784) ft² = 980 ft²

  h = √(196·5) ft

  h = 14√5 ft

__

b) The approximate height is ...

  14√5 ≈ 31.305, about 31.3 feet
