Answer 1

I'm leaning more towards 6 but 3 could also be the answer since it is the smaller version of 6.

Answer 2

Take a step back

You got to here
64 + h^2 = 100

subtract 64 on both sides

what do you get?

h^2 = ??

Answer 3

64-64=0
and
100-64=36
h^2=36?

Answer 4

Exactly!!

Now take the square root on both sides

h = ??

basically what number multiplied by itself gives you 36

Answer 5

6.
