Question

What’s the answer?!?!?

Answer 1

24 inches

Explanation:

You can see in the picture a triangle is formed where the sides are AB, BC, and AC.

The side lengths you have are AC = 16 and BC = 20.

You can use the Pythagorean Theorem,
`a^2+b^2=c^2`, so:

`16^2+b^2=20^2`

`256+b^2=400\\b^2=144\\b=12`

This means that the length of AB = 12.

It's asking the diameter, and AB is the radius, so you have to do 12 * 2 to find the diameter = 24 inches
