Math Problem Statement

Made memiliki sebidang tanah berbentuk segitiga siku-siku dengan panjang kedua sisi yang saling tegak lurus masing-masing 220 meter dan 100 meter. Di dalam lahan tersebut akan dibangun kolam renang berbentuk prisma tegak beraturan dengan alas berupa segi empat sedemikian sehingga dua sisi kolam akan berdempetan dengan kedua sisi lahan yang saling tegak lurus. Jika kedalaman kolam renang adalah 1,6 meter dengan alas berbentuk persegi dan salah satu titik sudut kolam renang berada di hipotenusa bidang lahan, keliling alas kolam renang tersebut adalah ....

Solution

The problem you shared is about a plot of land in the shape of a right triangle with side lengths of 220 meters and 100 meters. A swimming pool is to be built on this land with the following conditions:

  • The swimming pool has a rectangular base (a square in this case).
  • The depth of the pool is 1.6 meters.
  • One of the corners of the pool is located on the hypotenuse of the triangular land.
  • Two sides of the square base are parallel and adjacent to the sides of the triangle.

The problem asks for the perimeter of the pool's base.

Steps to Solve:

  1. Determine the Hypotenuse of the Triangle (Land): The land is a right triangle, and the hypotenuse can be found using the Pythagorean theorem:

    Hypotenuse=2202+1002\text{Hypotenuse} = \sqrt{220^2 + 100^2}

  2. Understand the Position of the Pool: The pool is a square, and its sides are placed along the right-angle sides of the triangle. We need to determine the side length of this square.

  3. Calculate the Perimeter: Once the side length of the square is determined, the perimeter can be calculated using the formula:

    Perimeter=4×side length of the square\text{Perimeter} = 4 \times \text{side length of the square}

Let me calculate the hypotenuse and the side length of the square for you.The hypotenuse of the triangular land is approximately 241.66 meters.

Now, since one of the pool's corners touches the hypotenuse and its base is square-shaped with sides parallel to the triangle's legs, the next step is to determine the pool's dimensions. Based on the positioning described, we need additional details to determine the pool's side length exactly.

Would you like to proceed with this, or do you need clarification on any part so far?

Here are 5 related questions for further exploration:

  1. How do we determine the side length of the square if additional dimensions or constraints are provided?
  2. What would change if the pool were a rectangle rather than a square?
  3. How does the placement along the hypotenuse affect the pool's orientation?
  4. Can we calculate the area of the triangular land?
  5. What are the implications of this design in terms of construction feasibility?

Tip: Always clarify the exact placement of geometric shapes relative to each other to avoid assumptions in calculation!
