The height of the triangle is approximately 49.5c

Pythagoras theorem

The theorem states that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the square of other two sides.

From the given question, the hypotenuse is 50cm and the base of the triangle is 14cm

Determine the height using the expression

h² = 50² - (14/2)²

h² = 2500 - 7²

h² = 2500 - 49

h = √2451

h = 49.5cm

Hence the height of the triangle is approximately 49.5cm
