Question

This is a blueprint drawing of the stage area at Millennium Park. The length of one square in the grid is equal to 5 feet. According to the blueprint, the length of the diagonal of square C is 60 feet. Is that correct? Explain

Answer 1

Answer:

It is not correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the picture we can see that the length of the sides of square C is 50 ft.

A right triangle is formed, where the diagonal of square C is the hypotenuse (c) and two sides of the square C are the other sides of the right triangle (a and b). From Pythagorean theorem:

c² = a² + b²

c² = 50² + 50²

c = √5000

c = 70.71 m
