It has been discovered that a certain cornfield created in the 18th-century was a right triangle. one leg of the triangle was formed by a 210 ft long walking trail. the hypotenuse of the triangle was 90 ft longer than the other leg. what were the dimensions of the cornfield?

Explanation:

Given that,

Let ABC is a triangle such that AB is perpendicular distance, BC is base and AC is the hypotenuse of triangle.

Let AB = 210 ft

AC = 90 + x

BC = x

To find :

The dimensions of the cornfield.

Solution :

Pythagoras theorem is used to find the value of x. It is given by :

On solving the above equation we find the value of x, x = 200 ft

So, BC = 200 ft

AC = 90 + 200 = 290 ft

So, the length, base and the hypotenuse of the triangle is 210 ft, 200 ft and 290 ft respectively.
