Given:

Sides of right angle triangle, hypotenuse=27 base=16

To know:

Perpendicular height x.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use pythagoras theorem,


Base^2+\text{ Perpendicular}^2=Hypotenuse^2

Solution:

We will apply pythagoras theorem here as:


\begin{gathered} 16^2+x^2=27^2 \\ x^2=27^2-16^2 \\ x^2=473 \\ x=21.75 \end{gathered}

Hence, length of x is 21.75
