Angelica won an iPad in an office raffle. The iPad screen measures 12 inches in length and 9 inches in width. Find the diagonal length of the iPad screen.

Question

Units: inches

Answer 1

To find the diagonal length, we can use the Pythagorean theorem. Let's call the diagonal length "d".

Using the Pythagorean theorem, we have:

d^2 = 12^2 + 9^2

d^2 = 144 + 81

d^2 = 225

Taking the square root of both sides, we have:

d = √225

d = 15

Therefore, the diagonal length of the iPad screen is 15 inches.
