Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle
The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides.
let h represent the hypotenuse, then
h² = 5² + (
)² = 25 + 2 = 27 ( take the square root of both sides )
h =
← exact value
It is 12 since 1/6=6^-1=6
implies 2*6=12
Im not sure but it should be 8.5
As a decimal 3/5 = 0.6
Multiply the height by 0.6:
1st bounce = 125 x 0.6 = 75
2nd bounce = 75 x 0.6 = 45
3rd bounce = 45 x 0.6 = 27
The answer is 27cm
