Use the Pythagorean theorem\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You are being asked for the length of the diagonal between two opposing corners
\n" ); document.write( "\"c%5E2+=+a%5E2+%2B+b%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"c%5E2+=+4%5E2+%2B+8%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"c%5E2+=+16+%2B+64\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"c%5E2+=+80\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"c+=+8.94\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Answer D\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "As far as the sketch goes, make a rectangle that is twice as long as it is wide. Label the short side 4 and then long side 8. Then draw a diagonal line from the top left to the bottom right corners. The result should look like a \"backslash in a box\"\r
