(a)

Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The figure,
Formula used:
Converse of Pythagoras theorem states that if the sum of squares of two sides of a triangle is equal to the square of longest side of the triangle, then the triangle is a right triangle.
Distance formula between two points
Proof:
Consider the given figure,
In the above figure, the coordinates of the vertices of the triangle ABC are
Recall that the distance formula between two points
So, length of AB will be calculated as.
Now, the length of BC will be calculated as,
Length of AC will be calculated s,
Now, calculate the sum of squares of AB and BC as,
Recall the converse of Pythagoras theorem if the sum of squares of two sides of a triangle is equal to the square of longest side of the triangle, then the triangle is a right triangle.
Here, square of longest side i.e. AC is equal to the sum of squares of other two sides, i.e. AB and BC, so, the given triangle ABC is a right triangle.
Thus, using converse of Pythagoras theorem it is proved that the triangle ABC is a right triangle.
(b)
To calculate: The area of triangle ABC.
(b)

Answer to Problem 39E
The area of triangle ABC is
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The figure,
Formula used:
Area of a triangle is half into the product of its base and height. So, if b is the base and h is the height of the triangle, then area of triangle is expressed as,
Calculation:
Consider the given figure,
In (a) part, lengths of sides of triangle are calculated as,
Length of AB
Length of BC
Length of AC
Since, AC is longest, so, it is hypotenuse and AB is shortest, so, AB is the perpendicular (height) and BC is base of the triangle.
Recall area of a triangle is half into the product of its base and height. So, if b is the base and h is the height of the triangle, then area of triangle is expressed as,
Apply it,
Simplify it further as,
Thus, area of the triangle ABC is

In order to mitigate against the problem, authorities have decided to construct a flood protection bund (Dyke). Figure 1 is a cross section of a 300m long proposed dyke; together with its foundation (key). Survey data for the proposed site of the dyke are presented in Table 1. Table 2 provides swelling and shrinkage factors for the fill material that has been proposed. The dyke dimensions that are given are for a compacted fill. (1) Assume you are in the design office, use both the Simpson Rule and Trapezoidal Rule to compute the total volume of earthworks required.
