Art wants to calculate the diagonal distance across opposite corners of a rectangular parcel. The parcel is 161’ by 326’ . How long is the diagonal measurement?

Respuesta :

Recall that the formula for the length of the diagonal of a rectangle is:

[tex]l=\sqrt[]{a^2+b^2}.[/tex]

Where a, and b are the lengths of the sides of the rectangle.

Substituting a=161´, b=326´ in the above formula we get:

[tex]\begin{gathered} l=\sqrt[]{(161^{\prime})^2+(326^{\prime})^2}, \\ l=363.5890537^{\prime}\text{.} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Answer: 363.5890537 ´.
