You use the pythagoreom therom becuase you know that 10 is the height and if you draw a triangle connecting the height line and the slant line the newly drawn line is 6,becasue tehs quare was 12*12 and you divide 12 by 2 so your finding the hyptoneuse to find the slant height and 6squared + 10 squared=136 and you square 136 to get 11.66
