SOLUTION
Find the perimeter of a rectangle whose length is 150 m and the diagonal is 170 m.
The problem can be modeled using the figure below
Notice that the triangle formed is a right triangle:
Therefore using Pythagorean theorem it follows:
[tex]x^2+150^2=170^2[/tex]Solve for x
[tex]\begin{gathered} x^2=170^2-150^2 \\ x^2=6400 \\ x=80 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore the other leg no miss
