The length and width of a rectangle form a
\n" ); document.write( "right triangle with the diagonal as hypotenuse.
\n" ); document.write( "L=length; W=width; D=diagonal
\n" ); document.write( " $\"L%5E2%2BW%5E2=D%5E2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"sqrt%28L%5E2%2BW%5E2%29=D\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"sqrt%2840%5E2m%5E2%2B9%5E2m%5E2%29=D\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"sqrt%28100m%5E2%2B81m%5E2%29=D\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"sqrt%281681m%5E2%29=D\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"41m=D\"$ ANSWER: The measure of the diagonal is 41 meters. \n" ); document.write( "
