Answer:

5.3 inches

Explanation:

The diagonal of a rectangle frame is 8 inches and the width of the frame is 6 inches. What is the length of this frame in inches?

Diagonal² = Length² + Width²

Length = √Diagonal² - Width

= √8² - 6²

= √64 - 36

= √(28)

Length = 5.2915026221 inches

Approximately = 5.3 Inches
