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.
When the Radius Increases a. A rope is wrapped tightly around a wheel with radius of 2 feet. If the radius of the wheel is increased by 1 foot to a radius 3 feet, by how much must the rope be lengthened to fit around the wheel? b. Consider a rope wrapped around the Earths equator. We noted in Exercise 17 that the radius of the Earth is about 4000 miles. That is 21,120,000 feet. Suppose now that rope is to be suspended exactly 1 foot above the equator. By how much must the rope be lengthened to accomplish this? The Size of the Earth The radius of the Earth is approximately 4000 miles. a. How far is it around the equator? Hint: You are looking for the circumference of a circle b. What is the volume of the Earth? Hint: The volume of a sphere of radius r is given by 43r3. b. What is the surface area of the Earth? Hint: The surface area of a sphere of radius r is given by 4r2.
A copper casting is in the shape of a prism with an equilateral triangle base. The length of each base side is 17.80 centimeters, and the casting height is 16.23 centimeters. Copper weighs 8.8 grams per cubic centimeter. Determine the weight of the casting in kilograms. One kilogram equals 1000 grams. Round the answer to 2 decimal places.

A landscaper wants to put a square reflecting pool next to a triangular deck, as shown below. The triangular deck is a right triangle, with legs of length 9 feet and 11 feet, and the pool will be adjacent to the hypotenuse. (a) Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of a side of the pool. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a foot. (b) Find the exact area of the pool.
