A playground slide has a length of 4.76 metres, while it covers a horizontal distance of 1.4 metres on the ground.  What is the height of the slide, to two decimal places?  Show all working out.

Use the pythagorean theorem.

Draw the right angled triangle.

Mark the 3 sides with numbers or an x.

Find x.

If you show some working or discuss it a bit then I will help more. :)
