A garden has the form of a right triangle. One leg of the triangle is formed by a 2000-ft long sea wall. The hypotenuse of the triangle is 400 ft longer than the other leg. What are the dimensions of the garden?

- Hypotenuse

- Leg 1

- Leg 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the dimensions as:

So, we have:

Required

Determine the dimensions

Apply Pythagoras theorem

This gives:

Open bracket

Solve for S2

Recall that:

Hence, the dimensions are:

answer is because 4×10=40

and 98×4= is 392

40,392
