Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the triangular sign will be equal to 21.63 inches.

What is the Pythagorean theorem?

It states that in the right-angle triangle the hypotenuse square is equal to the sum of the square of the other two sides.

The height of the sign will be calculated by using the Pythagorean theorem:-

Height²  =  Hypotenuse²  -  Base²

Height ²  =  25²  -   12.5²

Height ²  =  468

Height   =   √468

Height   =   21.63 inches

Therefore the height of the triangular sign will be equal to 21.63 inches.
