Find the length of the diagonal of the prism.

Question

height is 12 cm.

width is 3 cm.

length is 4 cm.

What is the diagonal length?

Answer 1

The diagonal length of a rectangular prism can be found using the Pythagorean theorem. The formula is:

diagonal length = √(height^2 + width^2 + length^2)

Plugging in the given values:

diagonal length = √(12^2 + 3^2 + 4^2)
= √(144 + 9 + 16)
= √169
= 13 cm

Therefore, the length of the diagonal of the prism is 13 cm.
