Answer 3

* square root

Answer 4

is it 24.7
or leave it as radical 612

Answer 5

oh no I got tht wrong my teacher came out with radical 232

Answer 6

Okay, the pythagoream theorm is: \[\large \large a^2 + b^2 = c^2 \] C is the hypotenuse, or the longest side of a triangle. \[\large \large 24^2 + 6^2 = c ^2 |= | 576 + 36 = c^2\] Next is to combine like term:
576 + 36 = 612.
612 = c^2
Next is to find the square root of 612. How can I do this? We can use a calculator, so the square root of it is ~24.74 inches.
So the diagonal is 24.74 inches.
I hope this help!
