Find the length of the diagonal of a rectangle whose length is 10 cm and whose width is 9cm

Question

Find the length of the diagonal of the rectangle

Answer 1

Alina,

 

This problem uses the Pythagorean principle which means that the diagonal is the hypotenuse of a triangle with the legs being the length and width. Thus, the hypotenuse is the square root of 10 squared plus 9 squared = square root of 181. Hope that helps!
