Connie makes handmade quilts for her grandchildren each quilt is 4ft by 6ft what is the approximate length of the diagonal of the quilt ​

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

Let

x -----> the diagonal of the quilt

x^2=4^2+6^2

x^2=16+36

x^2=52

x=7.21 ft

therefore

the approximate length of the diagonal is 7 ft
