mathmale · Answer

I'd suggest you determine the length of one end and the length of one side, and then use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the diagonal length.

neonumbrella5115 · Answer

So to solve this problem you would use the distance formula to calculate the distance from point A to point C.  It's a bit easier than mathmale's suggestion.

neonumbrella5115 · Answer

You are incorrect, can you show your work, so that we can figure out what happened?

mathmale · Answer

@neonumbrella5115:  Interesting to learn that you don't consider the distance formula to be related to the Pythagorean Theorem.  Care to elaborate on that?

neonumbrella5115 · Answer

@mathmale I'm not saying it's not related, but I was providing another way to solve the problem.  I personally would think first to use the distance formula, but the Pythagorean Theorem is a perfectly fine way to solve.  I didn't mean to imply anything.

mathmale · Answer

Avengedslipknot:  Why not type out both the distance formula and the Pyth. Theorem and determine for yourself which would suit you better in this particular problem.
