If a tent is 64 inches wide with a slant length of 68 inches on each side how do you calculate the height of the center pole?
--------------------------
Draw the picture.
You have a right triangle with base = 32 in and hypotenuse = 68 in
-----
height^2 = hypotenuse^2 - base^2
-----
height = sqrt[68^2 - 32^2]
-----
height = sqrt[3600] = 60 inches
