Sagot :

Answer:   The height is 3  units.

Step-by-step explanation:

By using the give figure we can form right angle out of the whole figure  with a base of  4  and an hypotenuse of 5.

By using this information we can use the Pythagorean Formula to find the height

a^2 + b^2 =c^2     a= base, b = height and c will be the hypotenuse.

4^2 + b^2 = 5^2     Solve for B

16  + B^2 = 25  

-16               -16

    b^2 = 9    

    b = [tex]\sqrt{9}[/tex]  

  b  = 3

Answer: The height is 3 units.
