Question

What is the length of CD to the nearest 10th?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\huge \boxed{\mathrm{10.3 \ units}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for CD, we can create a right triangle.

Where CD becomes the hypotenuse.

The length of the base of the triangle is 9 units.

The length of the height of the triangle is 5 units.

Apply Pythagorean theorem to solve for the hypotenuse.

$\sf hypotenuse = \sqrt{(base )^2 +(height )^2 }$

$c=\sqrt{9^2 +5^2 }$

$c=\sqrt{106}$

$c \approx 10.29$
