The tiles in a store are being compared. The diagonal of one tile is 9/2 centimeters, and the other tile is 8/2 centimeters. What is the difference in the length of the diagonals?

Answer 1

To find the difference in the length of the diagonals, we need to subtract the length of one diagonal from the other.

The first tile has a diagonal of 9/2 centimeters and the second tile has a diagonal of 8/2 centimeters.

9/2 - 8/2 = (9-8)/2 = 1/2

Therefore, the difference in the length of the diagonals is 1/2 centimeters.
