Without loss of generality, we can think of the 4 cm leg of the triangle as being the short leg. It is also the hypotenuse of the smallest of the similar triangles created by the altitude (x). If h represents the hypotenuse of the triangle, then similarity tells us the ratio of the "long" leg to the hypotenuse is the same for the smallest and largest triangles.

... x/4 = √(h²-4²)/h

Then the altitude (x) as a function of the hypotenuse (h) is ...

... x = (4/h)×√(h²-16)

Ganezh [65]
We have that

Profit margin is calculated by finding the net profit as a percentage of the revenue

Profit margin = [Net profit / Revenue]

Net profit= [Revenue-Cost]

we know that

Revenue = $16.25 million

Cost = $13.5 million + $2.7 million

Net profit = [16.25 million - (13.5 million + 2.7 million)]

Net profit = $0.05 million

Profit margin = 0.05 / 16.25

Profit margin = 0.003077 or 0.3077%
