Have a look at the image attachment. I've added the points A, B, C, D such that
A = base of the diving board pole, or location of the pool deck
B = the location 1.6 meters directly above point A
C = location of the person's eyes
D = diving board location
The goal is to find the length of segment AD
We are given
AB = 1.6
BC = 3.67
what we want to find is
BD = x
Due to the fact we have similar right triangles ABC and CBD, we can form the proportion below and solve for x
AB/BC = BC/BD
1.6/3.67 = 3.67/x
1.6*x = 3.67*3.67
1.6*x = 13.4689
1.6*x/1.6 = 13.4689/1.6
x = 8.4180625
So BD is 8.4180625 meters
Use this to find the length of AD
AD = AB + BD
AD = 1.6 + 8.4180625
AD = 10.0180625
which rounds to
10.0 meters when rounding to the nearest tenth (one decimal place)

In the first question we can solve using the Pythagorean theorem. It states that the hypotenuse in a right triangle or the longest side of the triangle, squared is equal to the other 2 sides, squared. Its expressed as so: C^2 = A^2 + b^2 where c is the hypotenuse and a and b are the other sides oft eh triangle.
Therefore,
15^2 = 12^2+x^2
225=144+x^2
81=x^2
x=9

11. x=12
In this figure, there are 2 right triangles on the sides of the square. If we can find the lengths of the base of both triangles then we can find x using the Pythagorean theorem. the total base is 21 and the square is 11. 11+a+b=21. We can assume that both triangles are congruent and therefore we can solve this equation:
11+a+b=21
a+b=10
5+5=10
b=5
a=5
The bases of the two triangles are 5 and the hypotenuse is 13. Now we can solve using the Pythagorean theorem:
c^2 = a^2+b^2
13^2=5^2+x^2
169=25+x^2
144=x^2
144= 12 x 12
x=12

12.
The diagnol of a triangle is the hypotenuse and since the length is the square root of 3, we have all the information we need.
c^2 = a^2+b^2
2^2 = (square root of 3)^2+b^2
4=3+b^2
1=b^2
b=1
