9514 1404 393

  (3)  12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the length of leg XY. Then the length of YZ is x/2 and the area  of the right triangle is ...

  A = 1/2bh

  A = 1/2(x)(x/2) = x²/4

  36 = x²/4 . . . . . use the given value for area

  144 = x² . . . . . . multiply by 4

  √144 = 12 = x . . . . . take the square root

The length of leg XY is 12 cm.

hi there!

step-by-step explanation:

a roof pitch is basically for every inch rise there is 12 inches run.

the height of the roof is also known as the rafter.

formula: rafter^2 = rise^2 + run^2

rafter^2 = 5^2 + 12^2

rafter^2 = 25 + 144

rafter ^2 = 169"^2

the height of the roof from the lowest point to the highest point is 169"^2.

hope this : )
