Using the Pythagorean theorem:
c = sqrt(8^2 + 7^2)
c = sqrt(64 + 49)
c = sqrt(113)
c = 10.6

Answer:
The height of wall is 3 feet and length of wall is 5 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Given as :
The Area of retaining wall = 15 square feet
Let The width of wall = W feet
The Height of wall = ( W - 2 ) feet
Now, Area of Rectangle = Height width
Or , 15 ft² = ( W - 2 ) ft × W ft
Or, 15 = W² - 2 W
Or, W² - 2 W - 15 = 0
Or, W² - 5 W + 3 W - 15 = 0
Or, W ( W - 5 ) + 3 ( W - 5 ) = 0
So , ( W - 5 ) ( W + 3 ) = 0
So, W = 5 , - 3
∴ The width of wall = W = 5 feet
And The Height of wall = ( W - 2 ) = 5 - 2 = 3 feet
Hence The height of wall is 3 feet and length of wall is 5 feet. Answer
