Answer:

9.75 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

You use the pythagorean theorem to solve. A is the unknown, while b is 7 feet, and c is 12 feet

A^2 + 7^2 = 12^2

A^2 + 49 = 144

Subtract 49 from both sides to get

A^2 = 95

then take the square root of both sides to get

A (the height) = 9.74679434481

I usually round to 2 decimal points to get the answer 9.75 feet.

Solve each equation. List any restrictions. Check your solutions. <br> 12/x+11=17
Thepotemich [5.8K]
12+11x=17x11x+12=17x
(both sides of the equation)
11x+12−17x=17x−17x
(Subtract 17x from both sides)
−6x+12=0−6x+12−12=0−12
(Subtract 12 from both sides)
−6x=−12−6x−6=−12−6
(Divide both sides by -6)
x=2
