look at the rectangle and the square. ada says the length of diagonal SQ is two times the length of diagonal OM. is ada correct? justify your answer and show all of your work your work should state the serum you use to find the length of the diagonals.

Answer:

No Ada is not correct

Explanation:

The length of diagonal SQ is not two times the length of diagonal OM. When you split the rectangle using the diagonal you can make a right triangle and use the Pythagorean Theorem to the rest of it.

This would be the Rectangle:

a^2+b^2=c^2

8^2+16^2=c^2

64+256+c^2

320=c^2

√320

17.8

This would be the Square:

a^2+b^2=c^2

8^2+8^2=c^2

64+64=c^2

128=c^2

√128

11.3

Now when I divide these answers that I came up with I get 1.7 which is not equal to 2 therefore SQ is not two times bigger than OM.

I hope this helped :3
