Using the Pythagorean theorem we can find the height of the triangle:


height = √(14^2 - 12^2)

height = √(196 - 144)

height = √52

height = 7.2


The answer would be 7.2 centimeters.

How do you calculate the Pythagorean theorem?

a 2 + b 2 = c 2. This is known as Pythagorean equation, named after the ancient Greek thinker Pythagoras. This relationship is useful because if 2 sides of the right triangle are known, the Pythagorean theorem could be used to determine the length of the 3rd side. Referencing the above diagram, if. a = 3 and b = 4

Using the Pythagorean theorem we can find the height of the triangle:

height = √(14^2 - 12^2)

height = √(196 - 144)

height = √52

height = 7.2

The answer would be 7.2 centimeters.
