Task steps:  Find the length of RT (Pythagoean theorem).  Note that KRT is a right triangle.  KR and RT known, find KT (another Pythagorean theorem problem).

anonymous · Answer

SL = KR = 4 = z = height
ST = QR = 3 = y = length

You're then using the Pythagorean Theorem for 3D which the theorem applied TWICE.
