Question

The length of a rectangle is 5 units and its width is 4 units. What is the approximate

length of the diagonal of the rectangle? (5 points)

Answer 1

the diagonal is about 6.4 units

Explanation:

i used pythagorean theorem to solve for the diagonal

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

5^2+ 4^2 = c^2

25+16=c^2

41= c^2

square root of 41 = c

6.4=c

c is the diagonal length
