2. the architects want to add another level to the palace. to do this, they want to create another triangle, where a and i are midpoints to the sides of the new triangle. find the appropriate measurements of the new triangle (height, width, and hypotenuse). sketch and/or explain your reasoning. (3 points)

3. based on your measurements, what would be the new height of the palace if another level were to be added? (1 point)
