#1) 5.8 miles
#2) 9.8 ft
#3) 56 in
#4) 5.2
#5) 13
#6) 5.4 ft

For #1, we have the two legs of the triangle and must find the hypotenuse.  Using the Pythagorean theorem, we have:
3²+5²=x²
9+25=x²
34=x²
√34 = x ≈ 5.8 mi

For #2, we have one leg and the hypotenuse:
x²+2²=10²
x²+4=100

Subtract 4 from both sides:
x²=96

Take the square root of both sides:
x=√96≈9.8 ft

For #3, we have one leg and the hypotenuse:
x²+42²=70²
x²+1764=4900

Subtract 1764 from both sides:
x²=3136

Take the square root:
x=√3136=56 in

For #4, the height splits the base into half; we have one leg and the hypotenuse:
x²+3²=6²
x²+9=36

Subtract 9 from both sides:
x²=27

Take the square root:
x=√27 = 5.2

For #5, we have both legs:
5²+12²=x²
25+144=x²
169=x²

Take the square root:
x=√169=13

For #6, we have both legs:
5²+2²=x²
25+4=x²
29=x²

Take the square root:
x=√29 = 5.4 ft

The points where the 2 graphs intersect is  where x = 0 and x = 2.

-                 2                                  2
x   =    INT               x dA     /    INT        dA
                  0                                  0

INT dA   = INT -x^2 + 4x + 3 - (x^2 + 3 ) dx  =      INT -2x^2  + 4x
               =   -2 x^3/3 + 2x^2
               =   2.667  between 0 and 2

xdA  =   -2x^3 + 4x^2  INT xdA  =   -x^4/2 + 4x^3/3 = 2.667

centroid = 2.667 / 2.667  = 1  (x = 1)
