Answer 1

The height of the guest in inches will be 68.93 and in feet is 5.7.

What is the Pythagorean theorem?

It states that in the right angle triangle the hypotenuse square is equal to the sum of the square of the other two sides.

By applying the Pythagorean theorem:-

P²  =  H²  - B²

P²  = 84²  -   48²

P²  =  4725

P = √4725

P = 68.73 inches

Now the height in feet will be 68.73  /  12  = 5.7 feet.

Therefore the height of the guest in inches will be 68.93 and in feet is 5.7.
