Areflecting pool is shaped like a right triangle with one leg along the wall of a building. the hypotenuse is 9 feet longer than the side along the building. the third side is 7 feet longer than the side along the building. find the length of all three sides of the reflecting pool

Leg side along the wall = x ft = 8 ft

The other leg side = 7+x ft = 7+8=15 ft

The Hypotenuse =9+x ft = 9+8 = 17 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

In the question, the shape of the pool is right triangle.

Let the leg side along the wall to be the x ft

Let the other leg side  to be 7+x ft

Let the longest side/hypotenuse to be x+9 ft

Apply the Pythagorean relationship where the sum of squares of the legs equals the square of the hypotenuse

This means;

Expand the terms in brackets

collect like terms

solve for x in the quadratic equation by factorization

Taking the positive value of x;

x=8ft

Finding the lengths

Leg side along the wall = x ft = 8 ft

The other leg side = 7+x ft = 7+8=15 ft

The Hypotenuse =9+x ft = 9+8 = 17 ft

555.99.
