You had the right idea using the Pythagorean theorem to solve for b.
Problem is for that triangle to work, the 5 and the 2√2 would have to switch places. The length of a leg cannot be larger than the length of the hypotenuse for it to truly be a right triangle.
Pythagorean theorem only works for the right triangles. Only way to "solve this problem would be to bring in complex numbers.
5² + b² = (2√2)²
25 + b² = 2²(√2)²
25 + b² = 4(2)
25 + b² = 8
b² = 8 - 25
b² = - 17
b = √-17
b= (√17i)
Then the problem with THIS is a measurement/distance cannot be negative... which goes against exactly what that complex number i is.
The square root of 81 is 9
An equal-sized spinner is used to model probabilities
The spinner should have 4 equal sections
The number of friends is given as:
When Elisondra is included, the total number of people that went to the restaurant is:
Substitute 3 for Friends
Add 3 and 1
The number of people that went to the restaurant is the number of equal sections of the spinner.
Hence, the spinner should have 4 equal sections

Answer:
v = 220 yd²
Step-by-step explanation:
Small portion
v = 5 * 4 * 3
v = 60 yd²
Large portion
v = 9 * 6 * 3
v = 162 yd²
Total
v = 60 + 162
v = 220 yd²
