1 answer:

6 0

We can see a right triangle here.
Diagonal is a hypotenuse of the right triangle. Two legs are equal 102 yards each.
We can use Pythagorean theorem
hypotenuse² = leg² + leg² = 2leg²
hypotenuse² = 2leg²
√hypotenuse² = √(2leg²)
hypotenuse = leg*√2
hypotenuse = 102*√2≈144.25 yards

the diagonal ≈144.25 yards

Find the range. 4.7 6.3 5.4 3.2 4.9 3.1 –3.1 9.5 –9.5

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

The range is 19

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to order the numbers from least to greatest:

-9.5, -3.1, 3.1, 3.2, 4.7, 4.9, 5.4, 6.3, 9.5

Then, you have to find the difference between the largest number and and smallest number. You do this by subtracting them:

9.5 - (-9.5)= 19

So, the range is 19
