$a ^{2} + b ^{2} = c ^{2}$

2. manyo

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.

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.

5. manyo

Well, just answer using square.

6. joemath314159

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|

7. manyo

Well, just answer using square.

8. manyo

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?
