Answer 4

thanksss

Answer 5

well its not D

use pythagoras' theorem on the base with sides 3 and 4, the diagonal would be
the hypotenuse...

then to find the length of the rod, its pythagoras' theorem again... with the base diagonal you just calculated and the height of 11...

the rod is the hypotenuse.

Base Diagonal^2 = 3^2 + 4^2

get a value

Rod^2 = 11^2 + base diagonal^2

so D?
