Answer:

17 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Use pythagorean theorem:

{a}^{2} + {b}^{2} = {c}^{2}

The rectangular storage unit is split into 2 right triangles since it is 17 feet diagonally. So, 17 feet is the hypotenuse of the right triangle.

{8}^{2}  +  {x}^{2}  ={17}^{2}

Once you solve everything you will find that x^2 = 225, so x = 15 ft. That is the length of the storage unit.

What is the equation of (0,2) and (3,0)
ivolga24 [154]
Let's first find the slope. This is (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1), where (x_1, y_1) and (x_2, y_2) are points.

For this problem, our slope is (0 - 2)/(3 - 0) = -2/3.

We can now use the point-slope formula to find the equation of our line:
(y - y_1) = m(x - x_1)
(y - 2) = -2/3(x - 0)
y - 2 = (-2/3)x
y = (-2/3)x + 2

The equation of our line is \boxed{y = -\frac{2}{3}x + 2}.
