Everyday math

A landscaper wants to put a square reflecting pool next to a triangular deck, as shown below. The triangular deck is a right triangle, with legs of length 9 feet and 11 feet, and the pool will be adjacent to the hypotenuse.

  1. Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of a side of the pool. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a foot.
  2. Find the exact area of the pool.
This figure is an illustration of a square pool with a deck in the shape of a right triangle. the pool's sides are x inches long while the deck's hypotenuse is x inches long and its legs are nine and eleven inches long.

An artist wants to make a small monument in the shape of a square base topped by a right triangle, as shown below. The square base will be adjacent to one leg of the triangle. The other leg of the triangle will measure 2 feet and the hypotenuse will be 5 feet.

  1. Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of a side of the square base. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a foot.
    This figure shows a marble sculpture in the form of a square with a right triangle resting on top of it. The sides of the square are x inches long, the legs of the triangle are x and two inches long, and the hypotenuse of the triangle is five inches long.
  2. Find the exact area of the face of the square base.
