Answer 1

Welcome to openstudy! :)

Answer 2

Is there any addition information that you can provide, like an image or another measurement/dimension?

Answer 3

you would need to know the area of the triangle as well as the base to find the heigh

Area = 1/2 * base * height

Answer 4

If you use the Pythagorean Theorem for each right triangle and solve each for y2, you can come up with an equation with just x in it and solve for x either by factoring or by using the Quadratic Formula.

Answer 5

The area is 63 ft square & the base is 14 ft.

Answer 6

\[63 = \frac{ 1 }{ 2 } \times 14x\]

Answer 7

Area of a Triangle = 1/2 times the base of the triangle times the height of the triangle

Answer 8

Solve for x

Answer 9

Multiply both sides by 2

126 = 14x

Divide both sides by 14

x = 9

Answer 10

The height of your triangle is 9ft
