APPLYING THE PYTHAGOREAN THEOREM Use the Pythagorean theorem to help you problem solve in the examples below. 1. Bethany has a circular table top that she needs to carry inside her house to paint. Her front door is a rectangle and has a width of 36 inches and a height of 80 inches. If the table top has a diameter of 86 inches, will it fit through her front door?

Geometry What are the dimensions of a right triangle with a two-inch hypotenuse and an area of 1 square inch?
Gardening A gardener wishes to enclose her rectangular raspberry patch with 40 feet of fencing. The raspberry bushes are planted along the garage, so no fencing is needed on that side. Find the dimensions if the total area is to be 192 feet.
Greek Mythology Can the Greek hero Achilles, running at 20 feet per second, ever catch a tortoise, starting 20 feet ahead of Achilles and running at 10 feet per second? The Greek mathematician Zeno said no. When Achilles runs 20 feet, the tortoise will be 10 feet ahead. Then, when Achilles runs 10 feet, the tortoise will be 5 feet ahead. Achilles will keep cutting the distance in half but will never catch the tortoise. The table shows Zeno’s reasoning. In the table, both the distances and the times required to achieve them form infinite geometric series. Using the table, show that both series have finite sums. What do these sums represent?
A boat’s sail is a right triangle. The length of one side of the sail is 7 feet more than the other side. The hypotenuse is 13. Find the lengths of the two sides of the sail.
