Answer:

19.2 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use the pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2  where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

12^2 + 15^2 = c^2

144 + 225 = c^2

369 = c^2

Taking the square root of each side

sqrt(369) =sqrt(c^2)

19.20937271=c

To the nearest tenth

19.2 = c

Answer:

Diagonal of rectangle walk = 19.2 meter (Approx.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length of rectangle = 12 meter

Width of rectangle = 15 meter

Find:

Diagonal of rectangle walk

Computation:

Diagonal of rectangle = √l² + b²

Diagonal of rectangle walk = √Length of rectangle² + Width of rectangle²

Diagonal of rectangle walk = √12² + 15²

Diagonal of rectangle walk = √144 + 225

Diagonal of rectangle walk = √369

Diagonal of rectangle walk = 19.2093

Diagonal of rectangle walk = 19.2 meter (Approx.)

Find the value of the variable and DF if D is between C and F if CD 4y -9, DF 2y-7, and CF 14.
Yuri [45]
CF = CD + DF (since D is simply a point on the line, and C to that point added onto F to that point is CF), so 4y-9+2y-7=14. Adding it up, we get 6y-16=14 and adding by 16 we get 30=6y. Dividing both sides by 6, we get y=5. Plugging that into DF, we get 10-7=DF=3
