Answer:

9.75 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

You use the pythagorean theorem to solve. A is the unknown, while b is 7 feet, and c is 12 feet

A^2 + 7^2 = 12^2

A^2 + 49 = 144

Subtract 49 from both sides to get

A^2 = 95

then take the square root of both sides to get

A (the height) = 9.74679434481

I usually round to 2 decimal points to get the answer 9.75 feet.

Antonio is a biologist studying life in a pond. He needs to know how deep the water is. He notices a water lily sticking straigh
quester [9]
For this problem we can represent the situation as a rectangle triangle.
 x: depth of water.
 40: Base. "Antonio pulls the lily to one side, keeping the stem straight, until the blossom touches the water at a spot"
 x + 8: Hypotenuse. "He notices water lily sticking straight up from the water, whose blossom is 8 cm above the water's surface." Antonio pulls the lily to one side, keeping the stem straight, until the blossom touches the water at a spot".
 By the Pythagorean theorem we have:
 x ^ 2 + 40 ^ 2 = (x + 8) ^ 2
 Clearing x:
 x ^ 2 + 1600 = x ^ 2 + 16x + 64
 x ^ 2 - x ^ 2 = 16x + 64 - 1600
 0 = 16x -1536
 1536 = 16x
 1536/16 = x
 x = 96
 answer:
 1) x ^ 2 + 40 ^ 2 = (x + 8) ^ 2
 2) the depth of the water is
 x = 96
