Question

A rectangular shaped living room bas dimensions of 32 feet by 18 feet. What is the length of the diagonal? Round your answer to the nearest tenth, if necessary.​

Answer 1

Answer:

D = 36.7 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Diagonal of a Rectangle

Given a rectangle of width W and length L, its diagonal can be calculated as the hypotenuse of a triangle of legs W and L as follows:

$D=\sqrt{W^2+L^2}$

The dimensions of the living room are 32 feet by 18 feet, thus the diagonal is:

$D=\sqrt{32^2+18^2}$

$D=\sqrt{1024+324}=\sqrt{1348}$

D = 36.7 feet

Answer 2

AWNSER: Diagonal is 36.7 inches
