What is the length of the diagonal for the given rectangular prism to the nearest whole unit? A) 10 cm B) 11 cm 6 cm D) 13 cm

Hi there! :)
Begin by using Pythagorean theorem to solve for the length of the diagonal of the base:
a² + b² = c²
Use the length and width in the equation:
8² + 3² = c²
64 + 9 = c²
73 = c²
c ≈ 8.54 cm
Now, we can find the length of the diagonal of the prism using our calculated diagonal of the base and the height. Use the same equation:
(8.54)² + 7² = c²
73 + 49 = c²
122 = c²
√122 = c
c = 11.05 ≈ 11 cm. The correct answer is B.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We have:
And we want to find the value of x such that the expression is positive. So, we can write this as the following inequality:
Solve for the inequality. First, we can solve for the zeros like a normal quadratic. So, pretend the inequality is with an equal sign:
Zero Product Property:
On the left, subtract 5.
On the right, add 1.
So, our zeros are:
Since our inequality is a <em>greater than</em>, our answer is an "or" inequality with our answer being all the values to the <em>left</em> of our lesser zero and all the values to the <em>right </em>of our greater zero.
So, our solution is:
And we're done!
