Question

A square tile with a side length of 75inches is cut diagonally. What is the length of the cut in inches? (G.8b)(1 point) Diagonal O A. 145 B. 7/10 2 O C. 7V10 O D. 715

Answer 1

To find the length of the diagonal, apply the Pythagorean theorem:

c^2 = a^2+b^2

Where c is the hypotenuse of the triangles formed, and c and b are the other 2 legs:

c^2 = 75^2+75^2

c^2 = 11250

c=√11250

c= 106.06 inches
