From the given information, we have to determine the length of the BC, which is depicted a $x$ , because for the room to be a square, the length of the wall AB must be equal to the length of the wall BC.

In order to determine the length of the wall BC, or $x$ , we will have to employ the Pythagoras' Theorem here. Thus:

$x=\sqrt{(AC)^2-(AB)^2}$

$x=\sqrt{(18.79)^2-(17)^2}\approx\sqrt{64.06} \approx8$

Thus, $BC\approx 8$ inches

$\therefore AB\neq BC$ and hence, the given room is not a square.

A serving size for pineapple-orange punch is 1/2 cup. Liam needs to make 72 servings of punch. He will use 8 pints of pineapple

Hunter-Best [27]

Since a serving is 1/2 cup and he needs 72 servings you can multiply 72 by 1/2 and find out that he needs to make 36 cups of punch. Two cups is a pint so he needs (36 / 2) 18 pints of juice. He already has the 8 pints of pineapple juice so 18 - 8 leaves 10 pints of orange juice.
