Answer:

Width of the pool = 15 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Length of diagonal of swimming pool = 29 yards

Length of the pool = 25 yards

Let,

w be the width.

This will form a right angled triangle where the diagonal will be hypotenuse.

Using Pythagorean theorem;

(25)^2+(w)^2 = (29)^2\\625+w^2=841\\w^2= 841 - 625\\w^2 = 216

Taking square root on both sides

\sqrt{w^2}=\sqrt{216}\\w=14.70

Rounding off to nearest whole number

w = 15 yards

Hence,

Width of the pool = 15 yards

By the Pythagorean theorem
  50^2 = x^2 +(x +34)^2
  2500 = 2x^2 +68x + 1156
  x^2 +34x -672 = 0
  (x -14)(x +48) = 0
  x = 14 or -48

The distance from the wall to the base of the ladder is 14 ft.

7-24-25 is a Pythagorean triple. The dimensions here are double those values. It can be handy to know a few of the Pythagorean triples, as that can let you write down the answers to problems without having to go through the equations.
