= 3.60
Solution:
We have the equation:
14.4 ÷ 4 = 3.60
Calculated to 2 decimal places.
The three missing lengths are the left hypotenuse, x, the middle altitude, y, and the right hypotenuse, z.
9/y = y/16
y^2 = 9 * 16
y^2 = 144
y = 12
9^2 + 12^2 = x^2
x^2 = 225
x = 15
12^2 + 16^2 = z^2
z^2 = 400
z = 20
From left to right, the sides measure 15, 12, and 20 units.
The most likely measurement for a two-story building would be 20 feet. 6 inches, 25 inches, and 6 feet all are way too short for a two-story building.
34
because, 34 = 14 + (10 x 2)
and 34 = 24 + (10 x 1)
