Answer:
does NOT have right angles at the corners
Step-by-step explanation:
we are given that the sides of a table are 27" and 36" long.
If we assume the table to be rectangular, then by Pythagorean formula, we can find the diagonal and compare it to the 40" that we are given.
(refer to attached)
diagonal² = 27² + 36²
diagonal² = 27² + 36²
diagonal² = 2025
diagonal = √2025
diagonal = 45 inches
because the diagonal that we found is not the same as the 40" that was given, we can conclude that the table is not a rectangle (i.e does not have right angles at the corners)
