Answer:

19.8

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out the length of the diagonal of a square, first we need the length of it sides. We will get this information from the perimeter.

We calculate the perimeter of a square adding up the length of the 4 sides. As all the sides of a square are equal, we just take one side and multiply it by four.  

So, if the perimeter is 56 cm, that means 56 = 4*L, where L represents the length of the sides. If we want to know the value of L, we have to divide by 4 on both sides:

56 = 4*L

56/4 = 4/4*L

14 = L

Now we can find out the length of the diagonal using the Pythagorean equation  

\fbox {\textbf{Pythagorean equation}:} <em>The square of the length of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the two legs (the two sides that meet at a right angle)</em>

In this case, the hypotenuse is the diagonal we want to find out and the legs are the two sides of the square.

So, we have  

D^2 = L^2 + L^2

D^2 = 14^2 + 14^2

D^2 = 392

D = \sqrt{392}

D = 19.8

Round 99.20 to the nearest ten
rewona [7]
I believe it would be 100 because the 9 in 99 would be the rounding spot and if you look to the right of it its another 9 which is greater than five so that would round up to 100

Product of 21.33 and 2.04 and the sum of 1.115, 3.18, 22.0613and 12.2384
larisa [96]

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>A</u><u>.</u><u> </u><u>Line up the decimals, then multiply as you would with whole numbers:</u>

21.33 \\\times 2.04 \\  = 43.5132

<u>B. Line up the decimals, then add as you would with whole numbers:</u>

Note: These decimals aren't lined up exactly.

1.115 \\  + 3.18 \\  = 4.295

22.061 \\  + 4.295 \\  = 26.356

26.356 \\  + 12.2384 \\  = 38.5944
