Running Head: Week – 5 Assignment 1 Application of the Pythagorean Theorem and Quadratic Equations in Locating a Buried Treasure Pythagorean Quadratic In this assignment, we need to use Pythagorean Theorem and properties of quadratic equations 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 for Castel Rock and point A stands for the buried treasure. Length of BO is x paces and this is in the 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 using Pythagorean Theorem . According to Pythagorean Theorem , if we have a right angle triangle and sides are a, b and c, where c is the longest side [Hypotenuse] then: 𝑎 2 + 𝑏 2 = 𝑐 2
