Jax"s Dog house is shaped like a tent. The slanted sides are both 5 feet long and the bottom of the house is 6 feet across. What is the height of his dog house at its tallest point?
To solve this problem, we can use the Pythagorean theorem.
Let's call the height of the dog house "h".
Using the Pythagorean theorem:
(5)^2 + h^2 = (6/2)^2 (since the bottom of the house is 6 feet across, we can divide by 2 to get the length of half the base, which is 3 feet)
25 + h^2 = 9
Subtracting 25 from both sides:
h^2 = -16
This is not a valid solution since the height of the dog house cannot be negative.
Therefore, there is no solution to this problem as given.
