h^{2}=\frac{735}{16}
Subtract \frac{49}{16} from 49 to get \frac{735}{16}.
h=\frac{7\sqrt{15}}{4} h=-\frac{7\sqrt{15}}{4}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
h^{2}=\frac{735}{16}
Subtract \frac{49}{16} from 49 to get \frac{735}{16}.
h^{2}-\frac{735}{16}=0
Subtract \frac{735}{16} from both sides.
h=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\left(-\frac{735}{16}\right)}}{2}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 1 for a, 0 for b, and -\frac{735}{16} for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
h=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\left(-\frac{735}{16}\right)}}{2}
Square 0.
h=\frac{0±\sqrt{\frac{735}{4}}}{2}
Multiply -4 times -\frac{735}{16}.
h=\frac{0±\frac{7\sqrt{15}}{2}}{2}
Take the square root of \frac{735}{4}.
h=\frac{7\sqrt{15}}{4}
Now solve the equation h=\frac{0±\frac{7\sqrt{15}}{2}}{2} when ± is plus.
h=-\frac{7\sqrt{15}}{4}
Now solve the equation h=\frac{0±\frac{7\sqrt{15}}{2}}{2} when ± is minus.
h=\frac{7\sqrt{15}}{4} h=-\frac{7\sqrt{15}}{4}
The equation is now solved.
