John’s tent has slanted sides that are each 5 feet long with a bottom 6 feet across. What is the height of his tent at the tallest point?

The tent is slanted into itself, if the vertical pole stands to be 5 feet and the horizontal pole goes out 6 feet then its 3 feet per side which means the height of the tent is 3 FT.
