Answer:

5 feet

Explanation:

Hello!

We can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve this.

Formula: a² + b² = c²

  • a and b are sides
  • c is the hypotenuse/diagonal

Solve:

  • a² + b² = c²
  • 4² + 3² = c²
  • 16 + 9 = c²
  • 25 = c²
  • c = 5

The diagonal is 5 feet.

The length of a window in Andrew’s house is 4 feet and its height is 3 feet. What-example-1
