Question

What is h?

Answer 1

`h= 8.23` feet.

Explanation:

I would use trig. Let `theta` be the angle on the far left. Since the big triangle is right we can say

`tantheta = 9.4/17`

`theta = 28.940˚`

Now you have another right angle to work with, so you can apply trig again .

`sin(28.940˚) = h/17`

`h = 17sin(28.940˚)`

`h = 8.23` feet

Hopefully this helps!
