Answer: The height is 3 units.
Step-by-step explanation:
By using the give figure we can form right angle out of the whole figure with a base of 4 and an hypotenuse of 5.
By using this information we can use the Pythagorean Formula to find the height
a^2 + b^2 =c^2 a= base, b = height and c will be the hypotenuse.
4^2 + b^2 = 5^2 Solve for B
16 + B^2 = 25
-16 -16
b^2 = 9
b =
b = 3
