Answer:
d = 10 inch
Explanation:
The farthest distance between the centers, is along the diagonal of the rectangle. Therefore, we need to calculate the diagonal of the rectangle, but counting the fact that we have both circles.
So if, one side is 12 inch, and the other is 14 inch, we can use the Pitagoras theorem which is:
d = √(a²) + (b)²
Where a and b, are the lenght of the rectangle, but without the lenght of the diameter of both circles.
With this, the expression is this:
d = √(14 - 6)² + (12 - 6)²
d = √64+36
d = √100
d = 10 inches
