Answer:
C. 14 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
THIS IS TO FIGURE OUT THE TRIANGLE
You have to do the Pythagorean Theorem, which is a² + b² = c²
Since h is the entire piece of wood including the additional 2 feet, I will use m as variable for triangle
Fill in for variables: 5² + m² = 13²
Simplify: 25 + m² = 169
Subtract 25 from both sides: m² = 144
Square root both sides to get m alone: m = 12
Now, you have to add the additional 2 feet above the triangle: 12 + 2 = 14
Therefore, h=14
