Pythagoras Theorem says
(Longest side)2 = (shortest side)2 + (middle side)2
So for this general triangle
h2 = a2 + b2
8m
6m
h
Pythagoras Theorem says
(Longest side)2 = (shortest side)2 + (middle side)2
So for this triangle
h2 = 62 + 82
h2 = 36 + 64
h2 = 100
h = √100
h = 10m
h2 = a2 + b2
Example

8m
12m
Pythagoras Theorem says
(Longest side)2 = (shortest side)2 + (middle side)2
So for this triangle
122 = 82 + b2
144 = 64 + b2
80 = b2
√80 = b
8.9m = b
h2 = a2 + b2
