Answer 1

The distance between two opposite corners of the floor is 15.

What is the Diagonal of a Rectangle?

A line segment that connects any two of a rectangle's non-adjacent corners is said to be it's diagonal.

The formula for calculating a rectangle's diagonal length (d) is

                         $d = \sqrt{l^{2} + w^{2} }$

where,l = length of the rectangle

           w = width of the rectangle

Given, the length of floor (l) = 9 meters

          width of the floor (w) = 12 meters

Then, diagonal,  $d = \sqrt{l^{2} + w^{2} }$

                 or,      $d = \sqrt{9^{2} + 12^{2} }$

                  or,     $d = \sqrt{81 + 144 } = \sqrt{225} = 15$

Hence, the distance between two opposite corners is 15.
