The correct answer is "please"
Answer: Choice B) {3, 5, sqrt(34)}
=====================================
Explanation:
We can only have a right triangle if and only if a^2+b^2 = c^2 is a true equation. The 'c' is the longest side, aka hypotenuse. The legs 'a' and 'b' can be in any order you want.
-----------
For choice A,
a = 2
b = 3
c = sqrt(10)
So,
a^2+b^2 = 2^2+3^2 = 4+9 = 13
but
c^2 = (sqrt(10))^2 = 10
which is not equal to 13 from above. Cross choice A off the list.
-----------
Checking choice B
a = 3
b = 5
c = sqrt(34)
Square each equation
a^2 = 3^2 = 9
b^2 = 5^2 = 25
c^2 = (sqrt(34))^2 = 34
We can see that
a^2+b^2 = 9+25 = 34
which is exactly equal to c^2 above. This confirms the answer.
-----------
Let's check choice C
a = 5, b = 8, c = 12
a^2 = 25, b^2 = 64, c^2 = 144
So,
a^2+b^2 = c^2
25+64 = 144
89 = 144
which is a false equation allowing us to cross choice C off the list.
Find the are of the pool by dividing the volume by the depth:
1960 / 4 = 490
The pool is 490 square feet.
Area is found by multiplying the length by the width.
Let the width = X
We are told the length is 2.5X ( 2.5 times longer)
So we now have 2.5x * x = 490
2.5x * x = 2.5x^2
Now we have 2.5x^2 = 490
Divide both sides by 2.5:
x^2 = 490/2.5
x^2 = 196
find X by taking the square root of 196:
x = √196
x = 14
The width is 14 feet
The length is 2.5 * 14 = 35 feet
