Answer:

The shortest length of wire that can be used is 29.47 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem we can follow the following steps:

1) We have the dimensions of the floor of the room. The shortest distance between its opposite corners is the diagonal. We calculate the diagonal using the Pythagorean theorem.

$L = \sqrt{12^2 + 19^2}\\\\L= 22.47\ ft$

2) Since the speaker is on the ceiling, and the amplifier is on the floor, then 7 more feet of wire is needed to reach the speaker. <em>Observe the attached image</em>

3) The final distance (d) is:

$d = 22.47\ ft + 7\ ft\\\\d = 29.47\ ft$
