The dimensions of Juan’s living room are 14 feet by 20 feet. Juan wants the rug to be at least 3 feet away from each wall. He found a rug at the furniture store, but the only measurement identified on the rug is the length of its diagonal, 21 feet. Will this rug work in Juan’s living room? Use diagrams, numbers and/or words to explain your answer.
