Diagonal of a rectangle formula:
Diagonal = √l² + w²
Diagonal = √10² + 8²
Diagonal = √100 + 64
Diagonal = √164
Diagonal = 12.806 feet.
Or you can use the pythagorean theorem. The diagonal of a rectangle is the hypotenuse of a triangle.
a²
+ b² = c² ; where a and b represents the lengths of the triangle and c
is the hypothenuse. In this case, the lengths are 10 ft and 8ft.
10² + 8² = 100 + 64 = 164 ; This represents c².
c = √c² = √164 = 12.806 ft
<span>We can safely assume that 1212 is a misprint and the number of seats in a row exceeds the number of rows by 12.
Let r = # of rows and s = # of seats in a row.
Then, the total # of seats is T = r x s = r x ( r + 12), since s is 12 more than the # of rows.
Then
r x (r + 12) = 1564
or
r**2 + 12*r - 1564 = 0, which is a quadratic equation.
The general solution of a quadratic equation is:
x = (-b +or- square-root( b**2 - 4ac))/2a
In our case, a = 1, b = +12 and c = -1564, so
x = (-12 +or- square-root( 12*12 - 4*1*(-1564) ) ) / 2*1
= (-12 +or- square-root( 144 + 6256 ) ) / 2
= (-12 +or- square-root( 6400 ) ) / 2
= (-12 +or- 80) / 2
= 34 or - 46
We ignore -46 since negative rows are not possible, and have:
rows = 34
and
seats per row = 34 + 12 = 46
as a check 34 x 46 = 1564 = total seats</span>
