Sagot :

Answer:

7.3 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle we can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2+b^2 = c^2  where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

3.4^2 + 6.5^2 = h^2

11.56+42.25=h^2

53.81= h^2

Taking the square root of each side

sqrt(53.81) = sqrt(h^2)

7.335529974=h

Rounding to the nearest tenth

7.3 =h
