Answer 6

Yes, this is a square pool; each side is 57 feet long. Either diagonal will divide the square into two triangles, isosceles triangles (two sides of equal length). To find the length of the diagonal of the square, find the length of the hypotenuse of one of the triangles you created by drawing a diagonal. Can you think of the name of the Theorem you need to use to do that?

Answer 7

pythagorean theorem
