You have a 300 feet side length square and you need to calculate the length of the diagonal. When you split the square along one diagonal you get triangles, so you can apply Pythagoras' Theorem, with the hypotenuse as the needed diagonal.
a²+b²=c²
300²+300²=c²
2*300²=c²
√(2*300²)=c
√(2) * √(300²)=c
√(2) * 300=c
c~424.26 ft which is the solution/option c
Answer:
6x
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The hypotenuse measures 8.48 meters.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that a right isosceles triangle has legs of 6 meters long each, to find the length of the hypotenuse to the nearest tenth of a meter the following calculation must be performed, through the application of the Pythagorean theorem:
6 ^ 2 + 6 ^ 2 = X ^ 2
36 + 36 = X ^ 2
√ 72 = X
8.48 = X
Therefore, the hypotenuse measures 8.48 meters.
