This seems like a right triangle problem.
So assuming 14 feet is the hypotenuse and 4 feet is a leg of the right triangle, we can use the pythagorean theorem () to solve for the height of the house, in which we shall name it x.
So, the equation is .
Solve for x:
16+x^{2}= 196
x^{2}= 196-16
x^{2}= 180
x = 6√5 feet
Hope this helps!
Answer:
The correct answer is Dale is absolutely wrong.
Step-by-step explanation:
When the cake was complete, it had 360°. When the cake is divided into four halves each half now has 90° each.
Three person including Dale is about to eat the one fourth of the cake, divided among them equally.
Thus each friend gets ° = 30° of cake each.
But Dale claims that each piece of cake has an angle measure if 45°, which is a contradiction as each piece is supposed to to be equal.
Thus Dale is WRONG.
