A rectangle is 10 inches long and 8 inches wide, what is the length of the diagonal?\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 1. Use the Pythagorean Theorem where the sum of the squares of the legs (length and width) is equal to the square of the hypotenuse (diagonal).\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 2. Let d be the diagonal, then \"d%5E2=10%5E2%2B8%5E2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"d=sqrt%28100%2B64%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"d=12.81\" ANSWER\r
