This image represents a geometric problem involving a right triangle with a rectangle inside. The following dimensions are given:

• The height of the rectangle is $32 \, \text{m}$.
• The base of the rectangle is $19 \, \text{m}$.
• An extension of $9 \, \text{m}$ is added to the right of the rectangle, contributing to the base of the triangle.

We are asked to find the length of $P$ (the hypotenuse of the right triangle) and $H$ (the height of the right triangle).

We can solve this problem using the following steps:

Step 1: Identify the total base of the right triangle

The total base of the triangle is the sum of the rectangle’s base $19 \, \text{m}$ and the extension $9 \, \text{m}$: $\text{Total base} = 19 \, \text{m} + 9 \, \text{m} = 28 \, \text{m}$

Step 2: Apply the Pythagorean Theorem

The triangle has a base $28 \, \text{m}$, a height $H$, and a hypotenuse $P$. According to the Pythagorean theorem: $P^2 = H^2 + 28^2$ We also know that the rectangle’s height is $32 \, \text{m}$, and because the rectangle’s sides are perpendicular to the triangle, the height of the triangle $H$ will equal the height of the rectangle, i.e., $H = 32 \, \text{m}$.

Step 3: Calculate the hypotenuse $P$

Using $H = 32 \, \text{m}$, we substitute into the Pythagorean theorem: $P^2 = 32^2 + 28^2$ $P^2 = 1024 + 784 = 1808$ $P = \sqrt{1808} \approx 42.52 \, \text{m}$

Thus, the hypotenuse $P$ is approximately $42.52 \, \text{m}$, and the height $H$ is $32 \, \text{m}$.

Summary:

• $P \approx 42.52 \, \text{m}$
• $H = 32 \, \text{m}$
