The architects side view drawing of a saltbox-style house shows a post that supports the roof ridge. The support post is 10 ft tall. How far from the front of the house is the support post positioned?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The support post positioned 23 feet far from the front of the house

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Pythagoras Theorem

(Hypotenuse)² = (Base)² + ( Perpendicular)²

We need to find Base so arranging the equation will give us

(Base)² = (Hypotenuse)² -  ( Perpendicular)²

Taking under root on both sides

Base =  √(Hypotenuse)² -  ( Perpendicular)²

Base =  √ (625 - 100)

Base = √525

Base = 23 feet
