You are standing 50 feet from the center of a circular swimming pool.
\n" ); document.write( " The distance from you to a point of tangency is 25 feet.
\n" ); document.write( " What is the approximate radius of the pool? Round to the nearest tenth.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "At the point of tangency a right angle between the radius and the line tangent to where you are standing,
\n" ); document.write( " therefore
\n" ); document.write( "r^2 + 25^2 = 50^2
\n" ); document.write( "r^2 = 2500 - 625
\n" ); document.write( "r = \"sqrt%281875%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "r = 43.3 ft is the radius
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
