Given 1 - 30 in., w = 20 in., h = 18 in., and x = 36.1 in., find the length of d. Round the answer to the nearest tenth.

1 answer

To find the length of d, we first need to calculate the diagonal length of the rectangle using the Pythagorean theorem.
The diagonal length can be expressed as:

d = √(w^2 + h^2)

Substitute the given values w = 20 in. and h = 18 in. into the formula:

d = √(20^2 + 18^2)
d = √(400 + 324)
d = √724
d ≈ 26.9 in.

Therefore, the length of d is approximately 26.9 inches when rounded to the nearest tenth.
