Answer:

altitude = 15 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

you can use the Pythagorean Theorem where you have a right triangle with a base of 8 (half of 16), a hypotenue of 17, and the altitude is 'a'

a² + 8² = 17²

a² + 64 = 289

a² = 225

a = \sqrt{225}

a = 15

exis [7]
The cat travels 0.7 times as far as the dog on each stride, but it takes 1.3 times as many strides in a given time interval. Hence the cat's distance relative to the dog's is 0.7*1.3 = 0.91. This is less distance than the 1 unit the dog covers in the same time.

The dog will win the race.
