sorry if my handwriting is bad:
To find the diagonal of the rectangle we have to use Pythagorean theorem!
Pythagorean theorem is used to find the length of a missing angle such as the hypotenuse or the sides a and b.
Steps to solve:
1. 12 in is the length or the base of the right triangle, and 6 in is the wide or the side a.
2. Now use the formula: a^2+b^2=c^2, and plug in the numbers!
3. 6^2+12^2=c^2, now just solve the squared numbers.
4. 36+144=c^2
5. 180=c^2
6. Find the square root of 180.
And that is you answer!
If helped mark me the brainiest!!
Answer:
the queation says from ques no 2 so you should take a full picture
138 x ? = 75
? = 75/138 = 0.544(3sf)
so about 54.35% (2dp) decrease
