Answer 1

Question:

Solution:

Applying the Pythagorean theorem, we obtain the following equation:

`h\text{ = }\sqrt[]{6^2+9^2}`

this is equivalent to:

`h\text{ = }\sqrt[]{36^{}+81}`

this is equivalent to:

`h\text{ = }\sqrt[]{117\text{ }}=\text{ 10.8}`

so that, we can conclude that the correct answer is:

`10.8`
