Answer 1

42.5 cm to 3 sig figs

Explanation:

Use the Pythagorean Theorem:

x^2 + y^2 = z^2, where z is the hypotenuse (the side opposite the rght angle).

x = 30 cm

y = h cm

z = 52 cm

x^2 + y^2 = z^2

(30cm)^2 + (h)^2 = (52 cm)^2

900 cm^2 + (h)^2 = 2704 cm^2

(h)^2 = 1804 cm^2

h = 42.47 cm or 42.5 cm to 3 sig figs
