Answer:
√254 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
This is basically a triangle, with a height of 2, and hypotenuse of 16.
Using the Pythagorean theorem (a^2+b^2=h^2) we can find the other side.
2^2+b^2=16^2
4+b^2=256
b^2=254
b=√254
This is your answer (x-a).g(a)
So you first make 1 7/9 into 16/9
then you do 16/9 - 4/9 which equals to 12/9 then you simplify and get 4/3 then simplify again into 1 1/3
the answer is 0.2 or one fifths
