Question

Someone please help me answer this!!

Answer 1

Answer:

8.5 m

Step-by-step explanation:

If you draw the segment from one corner to the opposite corner, you'll have the hypotenuse of a triangle with two legs of 6 m. We can find the length of the hypotenuse using the Pythagorean Theorem.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

6^2 + 6^2 = c^2

36 + 36 = c^2

c^2 = 72

c = sqrt(72)

c = 6sqrt(2) = 8.5

Answer: 8.5 m

Answer 2

Answer:

c = 8.4m is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

a = 6m

b = 6m

c = ?

According to the Pythagorean theorem,

a² + b² = c²

6² + 6² = c²

36 + 36 = c²

c² = 72

c = 8.4m

∴ The mouse runs 8.4 m from the opposite corners of the room.
