Answer:

h = + 6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we're dealing with a right triangle and may therefore apply the P, Pythagorean Theorem.

The hypotenuse is 10 ft and the horizontal leg is 8 ft.  Thus, if h is the height of the highest point of the slide,

(8 ft)^2 + h^2 = (10 ft)^2, or

64 ft^2 + h^2 = 100 ft^2, leading to h^2 = 36 ft^2.

Then h = + 6 ft
