Keysha is building a coffee table. Its going to be in the shape of a rectangular prism, without the faces. She wants the table decorative by adding metal diagonals. The length of the coffee table will be 44 in., the width 24 in ., and the height 14 in. Find the length Keysha should make each diagonal. Round the answer to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

To find the length of each diagonal, we can use the formula for the diagonal of a rectangular prism. The formula is given by:

diagonal = √(length^2 + width^2 + height^2)

Plugging in the given values, we get:

diagonal = √(44^2 + 24^2 + 14^2)
diagonal = √(1936 + 576 + 196)
diagonal = √2708
diagonal ≈ 52.0 inches

Keysha should make each diagonal approximately 52.0 inches long.
