Step-by-step explanation:

can't really use the Pythagorean because you don't know this is a right triangle.

use the fact that they are similar

3/6 = x/12 where x is FE

cross multiply

6x = 36 therefore FE = 6

then 6/12 = y/9 where y is FD

cross multiply

12y = 54 = 54/12 therefore FD = 4.5

Answer:

2 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Volume = 4.5m^3$

The question is incomplete as the picture of the tent is not attached.

However, I will use the attached figure to answer the question.

From the attachment, we have:

$b = 1.5m$ --- base of the tent

$l = 3m$ --- length of the tent

Required

Determine the height of the tent

The volume of the tent is:

$\frac{1}{2} * bhl = Volume$

Where h is the required height.

So, we have:

$\frac{1}{2} * 1.5 * h * 3 = 4.5$

$\frac{1}{2} * 1.5 * 3 * h = 4.5$

$\frac{1}{2} * 4.5 * h = 4.5$

Make h the subject

$h = \frac{4.5 * 2}{4.5}$

$h = 2m$

The height of the tent is 2m

There is a bias in this sampling method.
The interviewer only interviews people exiting a local restaurant, which means it's more likely for the people to go out to eat regularly.
If he wanted an interview with no bias, he should go out and interview random people on the street, not in front of any business.
