X Mateo is about to ride a straight water slide. The length
of the water slide itself is 15 meters. The splash pool at
the end of the slide is 9 meters away from the base of
the tower that leads up to the launching platform.
How high is the launching platform?
Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a meter.
Remember to draw a labeled picture of the situation
