# Jason went swimming. He dives of the distance from the diving board to the end of the swimming pool. Then, he swims of the distance from the diving board to the end of the swimming pool. He estimated that he coveblack about of the distance from the diving board to the end of the swimming pool. Is Jason's estimate reasonable?

Well, he dove off the diving board till the end of the pool, let this be a vertical height, a
Then he swum the horizontal distance between one end to the other end of the pool, b
Now, they are asking if this distance a + b is same as c, the hypotenuse of the right triangle
Now, we know that a^2 + b^2 = c^2 is true?
But a + b aint c
So, nope, Jason's estimate aint reasonable!
