Write an equation that can be used to answer the question. Then solve. Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.

5^2+h^2=12^2, the answer would be ~10.97 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

I would use the Pythagorean theorem to solve this problem. Put in the things that you know, so in this image we are given one of the legs and the hypotenuse of the triangle.

Pythagorean theorem is :

a^2+b^2=c^2 with a and b being the legs and c being the hypotenuse.

Once you plug in the hypotenuse and one of the legs, solve for the other leg by subtracting a^2 (5^2) from 12^2 (c^2), which will give you 119, and then take the square root of 119 and you will get your answer.
