Answer: 2 units.

Step-by-step explanation: When you graph the points given, it gives you this shape in the image below.  The hypotenuse (longest side of triangle) is found by doing the following:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2, where a and b are the legs (the other sides of the triangle) and c is the hypotenuse.

5^2 + 2^2 = 29.

√ 29 ≈ 5.38, and that is the length of the hypotenuse.

The shortest side is the bottom side, which is 2 units.  Therefore, that is your answer.

Let me know if this is right! :)

The total surface are of a can is 296.73in ^2. if the radius of the can is 4.5 inches what is the height of the can
Travka [436]

Surface Area of can (SA) = (2 · π · r²) + (2 · π · r · h)

296.73 = [2 · π · (4.5)²] + [2 · π · (4.5) · h]

296.73 = 40.5π + 9π · h

296.73 - 40.5π = 9π · h

(296.73 - 40.5π)/9π = h

169.5/28.27 = h

6 = h

Answer: 6 inches
