Sam found a tent in his garage, and he needs to find the center height. The sides are both 5 feet long, and the bottom is 6 feet wide. What is the center height of Sam’s tent, to the nearest tenth?

The tent’s cross-section is an isosceles triangle. The center height splits the 6-foot bottom into two 3-foot segments, making a right triangle with a 5-foot side as its hypotenuse. Using the Pythagorean theorem, the height is √(5² − 3²) = √16 = 4 feet, so the correct choice is 4 feet.
