Two sides of a right triangle measure 222 units and 444 units. What is the area of the square that shares a side with the third side of the triangle?

the area of the square = x² = 147,852 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

two sides of a right triangle, = 222 units and 444 units

let the third side of the right triangle that shares a side with a square = x

the third side is obtained by applying Pythagoras theorem, and assuming the third side to be either adjacent or opposite side.

x² = 444² - 222²

x² = 147,852

x = √147,852

x = 384.52 ft

Therefore, the area of the square = x² = 147,852 ft²
