Answer:
the square root of 3200
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm not sure if this is right, because the format of the question wasn't clear, but it sounded like we have to find the diagonal distance of the room from one corner to the opposite. If the sides are 40ft long on both sides, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve this:
40^2+40^2=c^2
1600+1600=c^2
3200=c^2
c=sqrt(3200)
or about 56.5
combine like terms: -5p > -10
divide by -5 on both sides: p > 2
The answer is C.
You need you use Pythagoras theorem 2 times to have 2 equations with the same sides i.e. for example a2 + b2 = 81 and a2 - b2 = 9.
You can do it as you have different triangles but with the same sides.
