Answer:
about 22.2 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The wire can run diagonally across the floor and, from the intersection with the wall, diagonally up the wall. The total length is computed per the hint to be ...
d = √(18^2 +13^2) = √493 ≈ 22.20 . . . . feet
___
If the wire were to go up the short wall, its length would be ...
d = √(11^2 +20^2) = √521 ≈ 22.83 . . . . feet

Answer:
c ≈ 9.1 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle.
The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides , that is
c² = 4.1² + 8.1² = 16.81 + 65.61 = 82.42 ( take square root of both sides )
c = ≈ 9.1 m ( to the nearest tenth )
Answer:
CD ≠ EF
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the distance formula
d =
with (x₁, y₁ ) = C(- 2, 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = D(- 1, 1)
CD =
=
= =
Repeat using (x₁, y₁ ) = E(- 4, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = F(- 1, - 1)
EF =
=
= =
Since ≈
, then CD and EF are not congruent
