- 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.arrow_forwardSurveying To approximate the length of a marsh, a surveyor walks 250 meters from point A to point B, then turns 75 and walks 220 meters to point C (see figure). Approximate the length AC of the marsh.arrow_forward
