((Yes, its correct, checked and took an exam on it))

Answer 2

The length of diagonal portion of the shower ledge is 1.44 ft .

Explanation:

By using the Pythagorean theorem in shower ledge portion .

Hypotenuse² = Perpendicular² + Base²

As shown in the diagram.

Take

Perpedicular = 1.2 ft

Base = 0.8 ft

Hypotenuse = Diagonal length

Put in the above

Diagonal length² = (1.2)² + (0.8)²

Diagonal length² = 1.44 + 0.64

Diagonal length² = 2.08

`Diagonal length = √(2.08)`

Diagonal length = 1.44 ft (Approx)

Therefore the length of diagonal portion of the shower ledge is 1.44 ft .
