The center height of tent is 8.1 feet.
What is right triangle?
Right triangle is defined as a triangle which one angle is a right angle or two sides are perpendicular.
What is Pythagoras theorem?
A right-angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
perpendicular² + base² = hypotenuse²
Given,
Side length of each triangle = 4 feet
Hypotenuse of each triangle = 9 feet
Shared side = x
Given the triangles are right angled,
According to Pythagoras theorem,
a² + b² = c²
Here, a = 4 , b = x , c= 9
Substitute the values in Pythagoras theorem,
4² + x² = 9²
16 + x² = 81
x² = 81 - 16
x² = 65
Taking square root on both sides
x = √65
x = 8.062
x = 8.1 (Rounding nearest tenth)
Hence, the center height of tent is 8.1 feet.
