Question

in a rectangle that is 15 x 8 meters, what is the diagonal length from two corners

Answer 1

Use the theorem of Pythagoras:
\[\large Diagonal\ length=\sqrt{15^{2}+8^{2}}\ meters\]

Answer 2

thank you

Answer 3

isn't the Pythagorean theorem a^2 + b^2 = c^2 or is square root(a^2 + a^2) just a simpler version of doing that

Answer 4

*a^2 + b^2

Answer 5

We used the theorem to find the square of the diagonal length. To finish we need to take the square root.
