An artist wants to make a small monument in the shape of a square base topped by a right triangle, as shown below. The square base will be adjacent to one leg of the triangle. The other leg of the triangle will measure 2 feet and the hypotenuse will be 5 feet. (a) Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of a side of the square base. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a foot. (b) Find the exact area of the face of the square base.
