Answer:

21 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

refer to attached graphics

we can find the height by the Pythagorean theorem.

diagonal² = width² + height²

height² = diagonal²  - width²

we are given that diagonal = 29" and width = 20", hence

height² = 29²  - 20²

height² = 841  - 400

height² = 441

height = √441 = 21 inches
