astraxan [27]

Answer:

the diagonal measurement from corner A to corner B=15 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

as we know that the loptop has the shape of a rectangle that means all it's angles are right angles. so we can use the pythogoras theorem to find out the diagonal of the rectangle.

let us denote the diagonal of rectangle by D and the sides of rectangle be denoted by X=12 and Y=9

so by using pythogoras theorem we have,

$D^{2} =X^{2} +Y^{2}$
