Isn’t it the example part?
x = normal water level
x - 12 - 13 = x - 25
so it is 25 feet below the normal water level
Answer:
distance across the pond: 13 yd
distance walked by Garret: 12 yd
Step-by-step explanation:
Data:
- distance across the pond: x yd
- distance walked by Sandy: 5 yd
- distance walked by Garret: x-1 yd
A right triangle is formed where the distance across the pond is the hypotenuse. From Pythagorean theorem:
x² = 5² + (x-1)²
x² = 25 + x² - 2x + 1
0 = 26 - 2x
x = 13
Answer:
41 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Pythagorean's theorem,
Hypotenuse² = base² + adjacent²
Diagonal² = length² + width²
= 40² + 9²
= 1600 + 81 = 1681
Diagonal = √1681 = 41 units
