If BO=45 in. and BA=108 in., then what is the length of AO to the nearest whole inch?

Answer 1

To find the length of AO, we can use the Pythagorean theorem.

AO^2 + BO^2 = BA^2

AO^2 + 45^2 = 108^2
AO^2 + 2025 = 11664
AO^2 = 964
AO ≈ 31 in.

Therefore, the length of AO to the nearest whole inch is 31 inches.
