Answer 1

Answer:

A. The length of the second leg is 8.5 inches

B. The length of the three-dimensional diagonal is 9.9 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us revise the relation between the hypotenuse and the two legs of a right triangle

(hypotenuse)² = (vertical leg)² + (horizontal leg)²

∵ The length of the rectangular box = 8 inches

∵ The width of the rectangular box = 3 inches

∵ The height of the rectangular box = 5 inches

∵ Length and width are perpendicular to each other

∴ The Δ whose legs are 3 and 8 is a right triangle

In the right Δ whose legs are 3 and 8

∵ (hypotenuse)² = (3)² + (8)²

∴ (hypotenuse)² = 9 + 64

∴ (hypotenuse)² = 73

- Take √  for both sides

∴ hypotenuse = $\sqrt{73}$ = 8.544003745

- Round it to the nearest tenth of one inch

∴ hypotenuse = 8.5 inches

A.

The 3-dimensional diagonal is the hypotenuse of a right triangle whose legs are the vertical edge and the hypotenuse of the right triangle whose legs are 3 and 8

∵ The hypotenuse of the right triangle whose legs are 3 and

   8 is 8.5 inches

∴ The length of the second leg is 8.5 inches

B.

In the right triangle whose hypotenuse is the 3-dimensional diagonal and legs are the vertical edge , the hypotenuse of the right triangle whose legs are 3 and 8

∵ (3-dimensional diagonal)² = (5)² + (73)²

∴ (3-dimensional diagonal)² = 25 + 73

∴ (3-dimensional diagonal)² = 98

- Take √ for both sides

∴ 3-dimensional diagonal = $\sqrt{98}$ = 9.899494937

- Round it to the nearest tenth of an inch

∴ 3-dimensional diagonal = 9.9 inches

∴ The length of the three-dimensional diagonal is 9.9 inches

V.I.N: you can find the length of the  three-dimensional diagonal by using this rule → $d=\sqrt{l^{2}+w^{2}+h^{2}}$
