Running Head: Week–5 Assignment1Application of the Pythagorean Theorem and Quadratic Equationsin Locating a Buried TreasurePythagorean QuadraticIn this assignment, we need to use Pythagorean Theorem and properties of quadraticequations to solve this. We need to solve problem 98.Buried treasure which is following:Here as per the information given in the question, we assumed that point B stands forCastel Rock and point A stands for the buried treasure. Length of BO is x paces and this is inthe direction of north and length of OA is 2x + 4 paces and this is in the direction of east.Here we need to find the value of x by usingPythagorean Theorem. According toPythagorean Theorem, if we have a right angle triangle and sides are a, b and c, where c isthe longest side [Hypotenuse] then:𝑎2+𝑏2=𝑐2
