Question

A park is in the shape of a rectangle 8 miles long and 6 miles wide. What is the diagonal length across the park?

Answer 1

10 miles

Explanation:

pythagoras' Theorem

8^2 + 6^2 = c^2

64 + 36 = 100

c^2 = 100

c = √100

c = 10 miles

Answer 2

The diagonal length is 10 miles.

Explanation:

This is the work of the Pythagorean theorem :
`a^(2) + b^(2) = c^(2)`

-------------------------------

`8^2 + 6^2 = c^2\\100 = c^2\\10=c`

Good Luck!!!
