Question

A piece of paper that Brittany has is 11 inches tall and 8 inches wide. She draws a

straight line diagonally across the paper. How long is the line she drew?​

Answer 1

The length of the diagonal line is 13.6 inches.

Explanation:

Length of the paper = 11 inches

Width of the paper = 8 inches

Diagonal (d) can be calculated by using the pythogoras theorem.

d = √(121 + 64)

d = √(185)

d = 13.6 inches

The length of the diagonal line is 13.6 inches.
