Answer:
8.5 m
Explanation:
If you draw the segment from one corner to the opposite corner, you'll have the hypotenuse of a triangle with two legs of 6 m. We can find the length of the hypotenuse using the Pythagorean Theorem.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
6^2 + 6^2 = c^2
36 + 36 = c^2
c^2 = 72
c = sqrt(72)
c = 6sqrt(2) = 8.5
Answer: 8.5 m
c = 8.4m is the answer.
a = 6m
b = 6m
c = ?
According to the Pythagorean theorem,
a² + b² = c²
6² + 6² = c²
36 + 36 = c²
c² = 72
c = 8.4m
∴ The mouse runs 8.4 m from the opposite corners of the room.
