Question

Toby is installing windows in a house. If the diagonal of the pane of glass measures 65 in and the base is 36 in, how tall is the window?

Answer 1

Use the Pythagorean theorem.
A^2+B^2=C^2
36^2+B^2=65^2 or 1296+B^2=4225
4225-1296=2929 the sqrt of 2929 is 54.12.
The height of the window is approximately 54.12 inches.
