Answer:
4.72 in.
Step-by-step explanation:
BC = 3.1 in.
CD = 7.2 in.
Altitude of right triangle altitude is given as [tex] h = \sqrt{xy} [/tex], where:
h = altitude
x = 3.1 in.
y = 7.2 in.
Plug in the values into the formula
[tex] h = \sqrt{3.1*7.2} [/tex]
[tex] h = \sqrt{22.32} [/tex]
[tex] h = 4.72 in. [/tex] (nearest hundred)
