Question

Help! What would d be?

Answer 1

Answer:

d = 17.5499287748 inches or 17.5 inches to 1 decimal place

Step-by-step explanation:

find the diagonal line passing through the middle of the bottom rectangle:

a² + b² = c²

10² + 8² = c²

100 + 64 = 164

c² = 164

c = √164

c = 12.8062484729

find d:

a² + b² = c²

12² + 12.80624847298² = c²

144+ 164 = 308

c² = 308

c = √308

c = 17.5499287748

therefore d = 17.5499287748 inches or 17.5 inches to 1 decimal place
