3 feet? maybe. This question was confusing to read.
Answer: x = 9
Step-by-Step Solution:
Hypotenuse = 15 units
Base = 12 units
Altitude = x units
Using Pythagoras Theorem,
=> Hypotenuse^2 = Base^2 + Altitude^2
(15)^2 = (12)^2 + x^2
225 = 144 + x^2
225 - 144 = x^2
81 = x^2
x^2 = 81
x = √81
=> x = 9
Therefore, Altitude = 9 units
