Question

Find the diagonal (d) of the base

Answer 1

Answer:

$4\sqrt{5}\ un.$

Step-by-step explanation:

The picture shows rectangular prism with rectangular base and heigth h. The dimenssions of base rectangle are l and w.

The diagonal of reactangle with known length l and width w can be calculated using the Pythagorean theorem:

$d^2=l^2+w^2,\\ \\d^2=8^2+4^2,\\ \\d^2=64+16,\\ \\d^2=80,\\ \\d=4\sqrt{5}\ un.$
