I think its true but i may be wrong
Answer:
Leg side along the wall = x ft = 8 ft
The other leg side = 7+x ft = 7+8=15 ft
The Hypotenuse =9+x ft = 9+8 = 17 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
In the question, the shape of the pool is right triangle.
Let the leg side along the wall to be the x ft
Let the other leg side to be 7+x ft
Let the longest side/hypotenuse to be x+9 ft
Apply the Pythagorean relationship where the sum of squares of the legs equals the square of the hypotenuse
This means;

Expand the terms in brackets

collect like terms

solve for x in the quadratic equation by factorization

Taking the positive value of x;
x=8ft
Finding the lengths
Leg side along the wall = x ft = 8 ft
The other leg side = 7+x ft = 7+8=15 ft
The Hypotenuse =9+x ft = 9+8 = 17 ft
Your answer is in the image
The equation of the perpendicular line will be y = (4/3)x.
<h3>What is a linear equation?</h3>
A relationship between two or more parameters that, when shown on a graph, produces a linear model. The degree of the variable will be one.
The linear equation is given as,
y = mx + c
Where m is the slope of the line and c is the y-intercept of the line.
Then the equation of the perpendicular line will be given as
y = - (1 / m)x + c
The equation of line is y = -3/4 x + 1.
Then the equation of the perpendicular line will be
y = 4/3 x + c
The equation is passing through (9, 12), then we have
12 = 4/3 (9) + c
12 = 12 + c
c = 0
Then the equation of the perpendicular line will be y = (4/3)x.
