Answer:
8.9 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
this seems like a problem where you can use the pythagorean theorem:
you know one of the two legs (6m) and the hypotenuse (9m), you must find the other leg
a^2 + 6^2 = 9^2
a^2 + 36 = 81
a^2 = 45
a = [tex]\sqrt{45}[/tex] or [tex]\sqrt{9}[/tex] · [tex]\sqrt{5}[/tex] which simplifies to be 3[tex]\sqrt{5}[/tex] or approx. 8.9 meters
