Answer:

7.06

Step-by-step explanation:

This triangle can be solved a couple of ways. In the end, they amount to the same thing.

1) The area is ...

A = 1/2bh = 1/2(8)(15) = 60 . . . using DG as the base

Using GE as the base, the height (DF) is ...

A = (1/2)(17)(DF)

2(60)/17 = DF = 120/17

DF ≈ 7.06

__

2) Using similar triangles, we can find the ratio of the long side to the hypotenuse as ...

(long side)/(hypotenuse) = DE/GE = DF/DG

DF = DG(DE/GE) = 8(15/17) = 120/17

DF ≈ 7.06

A rectangular retaining wall has an area of
Veronika [31]

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
