Question

What is the length of the diagonal of a non -regulation tennis court with length 20 feet and width 15 feet

Answer 1

25 feet

Explanation:

using the sides 20 and 15, use the Pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse of the right triangle formed by the 2 side lengths and the diagonal.

`a^(2) +b^(2) =c^(2) \\20^(2) +15^(2) =c^(2) \\400+225=c^(2) \\625=c^(2) \\25=c`
