Answer:

26.91 ft

Explanation:

Well you can do this using the Pythagorean theorem and apply this to your room, which is a rectangle.

Diagonal = √h²+w²

where: h = height and w = width

So we insert our given:

Diagonal = √(20ft)²+(18)²

= √400ft² + 324ft²

= √724ft²

= 26.91ft

You can look below to see the scenario.
