Question

Someone help me im struggling.

Find the length of d in the figure below if a = 8 in., b = 3 in., and c = 4 in. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

Let's see what to do buddy...

Explanation:

_________________________________

Step (1)

First we find the diameter ((h)) of the rectangle on the floor using the Pythagorean theorem.

So we have :

`{h}^(2) = {a}^(2) + {b}^(2)`

`{h}^(2) = 64 + 9`

`{h}^(2) = 73`

`h = √(73)`

_________________________________

Step (2)

Now we another using of Pythagorean theorem for finding d :

`{d}^(2) = {h}^(2) + {c}^(2)`

`{d}^(2) = 73 + 16`

`{d}^(2) = 89`

`d = √(89)`

`d = 9.4`

And we're done.

Thanks for watching buddy good luck.
