Question

The length of a rectangle is 5 units and its width is 4 units. What is the approximate length of the diagonal of the rectangle?

5 units
6.4 units
8.5 units
9 units

Answer 1

Use the \(\text {Pythagorean Theorem}\) which states \(\large a^2 + b^2 = c^2\).

Answer 2

is it 8.5?

Answer 3

\[4^2 + 5^2 = c^2 \]
\(16 + 25 = 41\)
\(\sqrt{41} = c\)

Answer 4

you need to approximate what the value of \(\sqrt{41}\) will be for this question.

Answer 5

okay thank you
