Answer:

10.2 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The swimming pool would make a right triangle with the pool, if the bottom of the slide touched the bottom of the pool.  

If we take the right triangle that would be formed, we have the 50° angle of elevation and the hypotenuse of the triangle, 12.

We are trying to find the height of the platform; this would be the side opposite the 50° angle.  The ratio of opposite/hypotenuse is sine; this gives us the equation

sin 50 = x/12

Multiply both sides by 12:

12sin 50 = (x/12)(12)

12sin 50 = x

9.2 = x

Since the bottom of the slide is 1 foot above the ground, the height of the platform is 9.2+1 = 10.2.

Good Question!

So since we know that a square is exactly the same all the way around we can assume that both diagonals in the square are the same. This means that they form a right triangle in the middle with two legs of 3.75!

So to find the side of the triangle we use a^2 + b^2 = c^2

3.75^2 + 3.75^2 = c^2
28.125 = c^2
<span>√(28.125) = c
</span>c = 5.3

Now finally we just square 5.3 again to find the area of the square and it's 28.1mm^2!

So the answer is the third one! hope this helps!
