if my ipad is 12 inchs long and 12 inches wide what is its diaganal

3 answers

Using the Pythagorean theorem, you can calculate the diagonal of a rectangle by finding the square root of the sum of the squares of its length and width.

In this case, the diagonal can be calculated as:

Diagonal = √(Length² + Width²)
= √(12² + 12²)
= √(144 + 144)
= √288
≈ 16.97 inches

So, the diagonal of your iPad would be approximately 16.97 inches.
could u use x to solve
Sure! Let's use x to represent the length and width of the iPad.

Using the Pythagorean theorem, we have:

Diagonal = √(x² + x²)
= √(2x²)
= √2 * √(x²)
= √2 * x

Given that the length and width are both 12 inches, we can substitute x with 12 in the formula:

Diagonal = √2 * x
= √2 * 12
= 12√2
≈ 16.97 inches

So, using x as the variable, the diagonal of the iPad is also approximately 16.97 inches.
