Question

A rectangular shaped living room bas dimensions of 32 feet by 18 feet. What is the length of the diagonal? Round your answer to the nearest tenth, if necessary.​

Answer 1

AWNSER: Diagonal is 36.7 inches

Answer 2

D = 36.7 feet

Explanation:

Diagonal of a Rectangle

Given a rectangle of width W and length L, its diagonal can be calculated as the hypotenuse of a triangle of legs W and L as follows:

`D=√(W^2+L^2)`

The dimensions of the living room are 32 feet by 18 feet, thus the diagonal is:

`D=√(32^2+18^2)`

`D=√(1024+324)=√(1348)`

D = 36.7 feet
