Answer:

19.21m  is the diagonal

Step-by-step explanation:

We are looking for the diagonal, which makes it the hypotenuse of a right triangle, with the legs being 15 and 12

We can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

12^2 + 15^2 = c^2

144 +225 = c^2

369 = c^2

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(369) = sqrt(c^2)

19.209 =c

19.21 m = c

We can solve for the diagonal using its formula: D = √L² + W²

D = √15² + 12²

D = √225 + 144

D = √369

D = 19.209..

Round to the nearest hundredth.

19.209… -> 19.21 meters

Hence, the diagonal of the house is roughly 19.21 meters.

Best of Luck!

The diagonal of rectangle ABCD measures 2 inches in length What is the length of line segment AB?
sesenic [268]
Unfortunately, this item does not come with any figure to illustrate the lengths of the rectangle. However, it may be noted that by connecting two opposite vertices of a rectangle by a diagonal, we form a right triangle. We may then use the Pythagorean theorem to solve for the answer. 
                                     a² + b² = c²
c in this equation is the length of the diagonal, a and b are the lengths of the sides.

Which graph shows a set of ordered pairs that represent a function?<br><br>Need help​
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

The third graph, the top right graph

Step-by-step explanation:

A function when determined graphically is a graph that passes the straight line test, which means if there is any two points on the graph which you can plot a vertical straight line going through both of them it is not a function.  If 1 x value is equal to 2 y values, it is not a function.
