To find height $ h $ use Pythagorean Theorem:

$$ h^2 + \frac{ a^2 }{ 4 } = s^2 $$

After substituting $a = 1\, \text{cm}$ and $s = 0.809\, \text{cm}$ we have:

$$ h ^ {\,2} + \frac{ \left( 1\, \text{cm} \right)^{2} }{ 4 } = \left( 0.809\, \text{cm} \right)^{2} $$ $$ h ^ {\,2} + \frac{ 1\, \text{cm}^2 }{ 4 } = \left( 0.809\, \text{cm} \right)^{2} $$ $$ h ^ {\,2} + \frac{ 1 }{ 4 }\, \text{cm}^2 = \left( 0.809\, \text{cm} \right)^{2} $$ $$ h ^ {\,2} = 0.6545\, \text{cm}^2 - \frac{ 1 }{ 4 }\, \text{cm}^2 $$ $$ h ^ {\,2} = 0.4045\, \text{cm}^2 $$ $$ h = \sqrt{ 0.4045\, \text{cm}^2 } $$$$ h = 0.636\, \text{cm} $$
