Question

If the length of the rectangle is 15 units long and the width is 11 units long, how long is the diagonal to the nearest tenth? = units

Answer 1

Answer: 18.6

Step-by-step explanation: 15^2= 225

11^2=121, so then we added 225+121= 346, then square root it, and the answer is 18.60, so we need to do it to the nearest tenth is 18.6

Answer 2

Answer:
18.6 units
Explanation:
A rectangle is a four sided shape with 4 perpendicular angles. It has two pairs of parallel sides which are equal in distance: width and length. A diagonal can be drawn between opposite corners that splits the triangle into two equal right triangles. The distance of this diagonal is found using the Pythagorean Theorem a² + b² = c². In the rectangle a = 11 and b = 15. Substitute these values and simplify using a square root operation.
11² + 15² = c²
121 + 225 = c²
346 = c²
√346 = c
18.6= c
