Question

Patrick takes a sheet of paper and cuts from one corner to the

Answer 1

Answer:

length of the cut : $H=31.83 inch$

Step-by-step explanation:

The cut is forming a triangle that have:

Base(B)= 22 inch

Perpendicular height(P)= 23 inch

Hypotenuse(H)= ?

Using Pythagorean Theorem:

      $H^2=P^2+B^2\\H^2= (23)^2+(22)^2\\H^2= 529+484\\H^2=1013$

     $H=\sqrt{1013}$

           $H=31.83 inch$

The length of the cut/hypotenuse is $H=31.83 inch$
