Question

Bethany’s mom made her a sandwich with a length of 8 cm and a height of 6 cm. If she cuts it in half diagonally as shown, what is the length of the cut edge?

Answer 1

10

Explanation:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2 (Pythagorean Theorem)

The length is 8(a)

The width is 6(b)

C is the unknown

8^2+6^2 = 100

then you need to square root the 100

`√(100) = 10`
