What is the area, in square millimeters, of a right triangle with a hypotenuse of 68 millimeters and a leg of 60 millimeters?

First, we have to solve the sides of the right triangle by using the Pythagorean theorem: a² + b² = c² where c is the length of the hypotenuse. Then, we can use the legs as length and height of the triangle and find the area by 1/2(base x height).

x² + 60² = 68²
x² + 3600 = 4624
x² = 1024
x = √1024
x = 32 = length of the other side

A = (1/2)(32) (60) = 960 mm²

David, a platform diver, dives into the pool during practice. The height of David above the water at any given time, s, can be m

Check the pictures below.

if we knew the roots/solutions of the equation, we can set h(s) = 0 and solve for "s" to find out how many seconds is it when the height is 0.

if you notice in the first picture, when f(x) = 0, is when the parabola hits a root/solution or the ground, for David he'll be hitting the water surface, and the equation that has both of those roots/solutions conspicuous is

h(s) = -4.9(s - 2)(s + 1).
