diagonal = sqrt(l^ + w^2)
17 = sqrt(10^2 + x^2)
17^2 = 10^2 + x^2
289 = 100 + x^2
189 = x^2
x = sqrt(189) = 13.747
X = 13.75
width is 13.75 inches
To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:
You must apply the Pythagorean Theorem.
a) Taking 28 inches as the hypotenuse of the right triangle (the largest side), you have:
a^2=b^2+c^2
Where "a" is the hypotenuse, and "b" and "c" are the other sides of the right triangle.
Then, you have:
a=28 inches
b=15 inches
c^2=a^2-b^2
c=√(a^2-b^2)
c=23.6
Therefore, the answer is: 23.6 inches
a) Taking 28 inches as a one the other sides that are smaller than the hypotenuse, you have:
a=√(b^2+c^2)
Where "a" is the hypotenuse
a=31.8 inches
The answer is: 31.8 inches
Answer: The perimeter of the rectangle is 53.8. One side is 24, and the other is 2.9.
Step-by-step explanation:
First you need to divide 69.6 meters by 2.9. This gives you 24 as the other side of the rectangle(remember that the area of a rectangle is 
). Next you multiply 2.9 x 2. This gives you 5.8, then you multiply 24 by 2. This gives you 48. You add the two values together,and you get the perimeter of the rectangle as 53.8.
