Question

Students are making a rectangular banner for the football game. The banner is 48 inches long and 36 inches high. They decorate it with a stripe going diagonally across the banner. How long will the stripe be?

Answer 1

Use pythagoreom thereom, so: a^2+b^2+c^2. a is the 48 inches, and b is 36. square both, add both, then square root the whole answer to solve for c.
