    C squared = a squared + b squared

    C squared = 4.5 squared + 9 squared

    C squared = 20.25 + 81

    C squared = 101.25

    Square root 101.25 you get 10.06 round up and you get the answer to be number 1

    The answer is 1) 10.1 meters

    According to the pythagora theorum,

    h² = a² + b²

    h² = 4.5² + 9²

    = 20.25 + 81

    thus, h² = 101.25

    thus, h = √101.25

    thus, h = 10.06230589 units, or 10.1 rounded to the nearest tenth
