Answer:

9.4 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle formed is  aright angled triangle with the right angle between the  length and width of the paper cut hence the diagonal represents the hypotenuse side.

Recall that Pythagoras theorem states that

a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where c is the hypotenuse side and a, b are the opposite and adjacent sides

Hence

8^2 + 5^2 = c^2

c^2 = 64 + 25

= 89

Finding the roots of both sides

c = 9.433981132

To the nearest tenth

c = 9.4 inches
