Question

a rectangular sheet of glass is 24 inches long and 18 inches wide. a glazier wants to cut the glass along its diagonal to make it a triangular windowpane. What will be the dimension of the windowpane.
Ms. Sue
a^2 + b^2 = c^2

24^2 + 18^2 = c^2

576 + 324 = 900

c = 30 inches

Thank you Ms. Sue
