HELP!! The front of A hiking tent is shaped like a isosceles triangle. The slate insides are both 5 feet long in the bottom of the tent is 6 feet across what is the height of the tent at the tallest point?

Given w
you know the value of the height of the wall, and the distance between the foot of the ladder from the wall, you can conveniently find the length of the ladder...
using the Pythagorean theorem
the length therefore equals
√[(height of wall) ² + (distance of ladder from wall) ²]
= √[ 8² + 12²]
= √64+144 = √208
≈14.42 ft

this is a real life application of the Pythagorean theorem
