Answer:

21.25

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean theorem tells you the length of hypotenuse c of a right triangle with legs 'a' and 'b' is ...

c = √(a² +b²)

Here, that means the diagonal length d is ...

d = √(17² +12.75²) = √(289 +162.5625) = √451.5625

d = 21.25 . . . . length of the diagonal

Answer:

$y = 30$

<u>Skills needed: Angle Geometry</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1) First, let's see what we should know prior to solving.

---> We have to find the value of $y$ , and looking at that diagram, we have to create an equation.

---> The angle measure of a straight line is 180 degrees, otherwise known as a straight angle (a straight angle is 180 degrees).

---> When you add $3y+3y$ , you can set that sum equal to 180. This is because the two angles marked $3y$ added together make a straight line, which is a straight angle.
