In order to determine the height of a right triangle, we simply need to use the Pythagorean theorem. This can be represented as,
Pythagorean theorem:
c^2 = a^2 + b^2
c = hypotenuse
b = length of the base
a = height
Formula for the height the right triangle:
a = (c^2 - b^2)^½
Final answer:
a = (c^2 - b^2)^½
