When we are given a line cutting diagonally from one corner of a rectangle to the opposite corner, we are given two triangles.

Now, using the right-angle trigonometry rule, we can find the hypotenuse (the diagonal line) which represents the footpath.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
{where a is one side length, b is another side length, and c is the hypotenuse}
Thus, we make c the subject of the equation and substitute the other known values:
c^2 = 400^2 + 300^2
= 160,000 + 90,000
= 250,000
Now we move the 'squared' (^2) from the left hand side to the right hand side. When moving it across the equal sign (=) the result becomes the 'root' of itself:
c = _/250,000
= 500
Therefore, the length of the diagonal path is 500ft.

Sound or vibration wave that is conducted
Same for me it won’t let me pick a certain topic
Let the temperature at 10am be x, then
x + 8 = 56
x = 56 - 8 = 48 degrees F
Let y be the temperature at 8am, then
y - 2 = 48
y = 48 + 2 = 50 degrees.
