Question

Mrs. thomas wants to put a table in the corner of a room. she considers the measurements of these tables. table 1 length: 1.5 feet width: 2.4 feet diagonal: 3.0 feet table 2 length: 3.2 feet width: 2.8 feet diagonal: 4.0 feet table 3 length: 2.4 feet width: 3.2 feet diagonal: 4.0 feet table 4 length: 2.6 feet width: 1.8 feet diagonal: 3.0 feet the walls forming the corner meet at a 90º angle. which table will fit snugly in the corner? table 1 table 2 table 3 table 4

Answer 1

Table 3 will fit snugly in the corner of the room.

What is the Pythagorean theorem?

Pythagorean theorem states that in the right angle triangle the hypotenuse square is equal to the square of the sum of the other two sides.

From the given data we will check the value of the diagonal by applying the Pythagorean theorem.

So by using the Pythagorean theorem:-

D ²  =    L²   +   W²

D²   =    ( 2.4 )²  +  ( 3.2 )²

D²   =    ( 5.76   +    10.24 )  =   16

D     =   √16   =  4  feet

Therefore table 3 will fit snugly in the corner of the room.
