Answer:

47.17 m

Explanation:

From the diagram of the question attached, The length of the legs are 25 m and 40 m . This legs form a right angle triangle with the length of the swimming course (L).

Pythagoras theorem states that for a right angle triangle with hypotenuse a and legs b and c, then:

a² = b² + c²

In the triangle, the length of the swimming course (L) is the hypotenuse and the two legs are 25 m and 40 m. Using Pythagoras:

L² = 25² + 40²

L² = 625 + 1600

L² = 2225

L = √2225

L = 47.17 m

<h3>What is Quadratic equation ?</h3>

A quadratic equation as an equation of degree 2, meaning that the highest exponent of this function is 2. The standard form of a quadratic equation is y = ax^{2} + bx + c, where a, b, and c are numbers and a cannot be 0

P(A) = 0.006 a^{2} - 0.02a + 120

123 = 0.006- 0.02a + 120

0=0.006 a^{2} - 0.02a - 3

you can use the quadratic equation  formula to solve for the man's age.

A = (-b ± (\sqrt{b^{2} - 4*a*c})  ) / (2a)

A = (0.02 ±  \sqrt{(-0.02)^{2} - 4*0.006*(-3)}/ (2*0.006)

A = (0.02 ± \sqrt{0.0076}) / 0.012

A = 9 , -5.67

Age of the man will be 9 years
