NO LINKS I NEED A REAL ANSWER!!!!!!

Answer 1

the diagonal distance from one corner to the opposite is 15 feet.

Explanation:

using the pythagorean theorem, we know that a^2 + b^2 = c^2. if a=9 and b=12 we can set up our equation as follows:

9^2 + 12^2 = c^2

81 + 144 = c^2

225 = c^2

the square root of 225 is 15 therefore:

15 = c
