Question 288802: Objective: Apply the Pythagorean Theorem
The width of a rectangle is 1 and its perimeter is 14. Find the measure of a diagnonal of the rectangle.

The Pythagorean Theorem states: a^2 + b^2 = c^2
If the perimeter is 14 and the width is 1, then the length must be 6.
Let a = 6
Let b = 1
We are looking for c.
Here is the set up and you can finish.
(6)^2 + (1)^2 = c^2
