Question

a rectangular room is 15ft long, 14ft wide and 8.0ft high. what is the length of the longest diagonal from one corner to another of the room​

Answer 1

20.51ft

Explanation:

Given data

Length= 15ft

Width= 14ft

Height= 8ft

Because we want to find the diagonal, let us use the Length and the width

We can get the diagonal by applying the Pythagoras theorem

z^2= x^2+y^2

z^2= 15^2+ 14^2

z^2= 225+ 196

z^2= 421

square both sides

z= √421

z=20.51 ft

Hence the diagonal is 20.51ft
