Jackson uses a table saw to cut a piece of plywood from one corner to the opposite corner. If the piece of plywood measured 16 inches by 12 inches, how long was the cut that Jackson made?

Answer:

20

Explanation:

You're trying to find the hypotenuse. To do that you have to square 16 and 12. That gets you 256 and 144. You then have to add the 2 numbers. That gets you 400. Finally square root 400 to get 20.
