Question

The length of a rectangular

swimming pool is 36 ft. The
width is 18 ft. What is the
length of the diagonal of the
pool to the nearest foot?
a. 18 ft
b. 30 ft
c. 40 ft
d. 54 ft

Answer 1

C. 40 ft

Explanation:

First you need to set up the abc

a²+b²=C²

plug in the numbers

36²+18²= C²

you need to square both of the number than add them together

1296 + 324 = 1620

Than you need to square root the answer you just got

√1620

Which equals

40.24

But then round it to the nearest foot

So just 40
