Pythagorean Theorem Help!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[a ^{2} + b ^{2} = c ^{2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You have a square deck with an area of \[17m^{2}\] You would like to double that area. What is the length of one side of the new deck.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a^2 + b^2 = C^2 3x^2 +4x + 7 a=3,b=4,c=7

im a little confused. whats the question? just the one about the square? that doesnt really involve pythagorean theorem.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, just answer using square.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right. you have a square thats going to have an area of 34 square meters (because we doubled the 17 square meters). So you have:\[x\cdot x=34 \Longrightarrow x^2 = 34\Longrightarrow x = \sqrt{34}\]|dw:1320887833591:dw|

Well, just answer using square.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and the we square the 34, which is gong to be around 5.83m, and that is going to be one length of the square?
