This question boils down to this:
"What is the diagonal of a square with a side length of 90 ft?"

The key to this question is the properties of squares.
All of the angles in a square are right, (90°) but that diagonal is going to bisect two of those into 45° angles.
Now we have two triangles, each with angle measures of 45°, 45°. and 90°.
(an isoceles right triangle)

This 45-45-90 tirnalge is one of two special triangles (the other being the 30-60-90) and here is its special property: the sides opposite these angles can be put as x, x, and x√2 respectively. Why? Well, we know that our triangle is isoceles (the congruent base angles ⇔ congruent sides) and so we call those x...by the Pythagorean theorem...a² + b² = c²...2x² = c²...x√2 = c!

In our case here, that diagonal, being the hypotenuse of our triangle, is going to be 90√2 feet, or approximately 127.3 feet.

What is the length of the dotted line in the diagram below? Leave your answer in simplest radical form.
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

\sqrt{93}

Step-by-step explanation:

8^2+5^2=c^2

64+25=c^2

89=c^2

c=\sqrt{89} <-- this is the length of the rectangle at the bottom

2^2+(\sqrt{89})^2=c^2

4+89=c^2

c=\sqrt{93}  <-- length of dotted line (diagonal)
