Question

Gina says that she can find the length of the diagonal, c, of the rectangular prism by using the Pythagorean theorem twice.

Answer 1

Answer:

$\sqrt{149$

However, that's the length of "c" and you're looking to drag it in. So,o you drag in 10^2+7^2=a^2.

Then, as shown by the first picture attatched, you can drag in the one with "c" and "a" with the five shown.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find "c" the diagonal, as explained, you need to use the theorem twice. You can first use it by finding "a", as you already have "b". To find a, you do 10^2+7^2=a^2, the hypotenuse.

100+49=149.

So, a is root 149.

a^2+b^2=c^2 so

149+25=174
