Solution
The measure of diagonal in a rectangular pool is 13.9 meters. Therefore, option A is the correct answer.
Given that, a rectangular pool is 7 meters wide and 12 meters long.
What is the Pythagoras theorem?
The Pythagoras theorem which is also referred to as the Pythagorean theorem explains the relationship between the three sides of a right-angled triangle. According to the Pythagoras theorem, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides of a triangle.
We know that, measure of each angle in a rectangle is 90°.
Let the length of diagonal of rectangular pool be x
So using Pythagoras theorem, we get
x²=12²+7²
⇒ x²=144+49
⇒ x²=193
⇒ x=√193
⇒ x=13.89
≈13.9 meters
The measure of diagonal in a rectangular pool is 13.9 meters. Therefore, option A is the correct answer.
