Alejandra Oconnell · Answer 1

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

Uriah Dougherty · Answer 2

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
