Question

A suitcase measures 24 inches long and 18 inches high. What is the diagonal length of the suitcase?

Answer 1

Answer:

30

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the Pythagorean Theoreom for this.

Since we are trying to find the hypotenuse, we know that the hypotenuse is $c^2$

So, here we are:

$a^2+b^2=c^2\\a^2=24\\b^2=18\\18^2+24^2=c^2\\324+576=c^2\\900=c^2$

Then, we find the square root of 900 which is: $\sqrt{900} = 30$

There you go! We have 30 as our answer.

Answer 2

I am sure that the answer is 30
