I'm gonna guess it's 26.7 by the looks of the length of the side. JUST A GUESS :)

It will also be solve using the earlier technique, used by you. Madam First you try Please

anonymous · Answer

Hmm... ok, give me a minute :)

anonymous · Answer

@goformit100 Well, by adding the sides with common angles (90 degrees) I'm getting up to the 26...

goformit100 · Answer

You got it correct.

anonymous · Answer

The 26.7?

goformit100 · Answer

Yes its correct.

anonymous · Answer

I got 9.6.  I guess that means I probably need a geometry review.

@Ajk I just turned it in... YOU WERE RIGHT!!!! D:

anonymous · Answer

Oh, nice!  Are you curious how I arrived at it, or do you already get it?

anonymous · Answer

If you would like to explain, you are welcome to! In case I need it again. But if you don't feel like it, it's fine! :)

I set up similar triangles with hyp 16 and 10.  Then used 6 for the side of the smaller triangle.  It looked like this:  h/16 = 6/10   I then just cross multiplied to get 10h = 96.  Divide by 10 to get h = 9.6.  Glad I could help.
