Answer:

The answer to your question is: h = 25. 23 ft

Explanation:

Data

h = ?

RT = 20 ft

AB = 4ft 2 in = 4.17 ft

AC = 3ft 4 in = 3.33 ft

Thales' theorem


(h)/(RT) = (AB)/(AC)


(h)/(20) = (4 ft 2 in )/(3 ft 4 in)

h = 20(4 ft 2 in)/ 3 ft 4 in

h = 80 ft / 3 ft 2 in

h = 80 ft / 3.17 ft

h = 25. 23 ft
