Formula: c^2 = a^2 + b^2
Step 1: Find BD
c^2 = 12^2 + 18^2
c^2 = 144 + 324
c^2 = 468
c = 21.6 in
Step 2: Find AD
c^2 = 21.6^2 + 4^2
c^2 = 468.16 + 16
c^2 = 484.16
c = 22 in
Therefore, the diagonal of the box, AD, is 22 in.
Find the diagonal of the box, AD, using the Pythagorean Theorem twice - 1. To find BD, and 2. To find AD.
AB = 12 in
BC = 18 in
CD = 4 in
Show all steps for finding the diagonal of the box above using the formula instead of the Pythagorean Theorem twice.

Thank you so much!
Wait never mind that is not the answer :(
It wasn't even an answer choice
Assuming that the sides of the box are 12, 18, and 4
(no idea where A, B, etc are located)
diagonal^2 = 12^2 + 18^2 + 4^2
= 144 + 324 + 16
= 484
diagonal = √484 = 22
final answer!

Thank you so much! I will try it out
Also the first answer was correct the second one to my bad
