Answer:
Hey!
Your answer is C.42.4yd
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 2 ways you can work this on out...
1. Using Pythagoras Theorem...
= 30^2 + 30^2 = 1,800 (30^2=900 so you've added 2 of those to make 1,800)
= SQUARE ROOT THE ANSWER OF 1,800
= 42.42640687119285
TO GET A MORE PRECISE ANSWER WE ROUND IT UP TO 1 decimal place
= 42.4 yd is the diagonal length of the dance floor!!
HOPE THIS HELPS!!

The tan(-x) is the same thing as -tan(x). The tangent function is also the same thing as sin(x)/cos(x), right? So let's rewrite that tan in terms of sin and cos:
![[cos(x)][tan(-x)]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Bcos%28x%29%5D%5Btan%28-x%29%5D)
is the same as ![[cos(x)][ -\frac{sin(x)}{cos(x)}]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Bcos%28x%29%5D%5B%20-%5Cfrac%7Bsin%28x%29%7D%7Bcos%28x%29%7D%5D%20)
We can now cancel out the cos(x), which leaves us only with -sin(x) remaining. So your answer is A.
