Which is length? 1 or l ?


Choosing that you mean length is 1, then the diagonal length is sqrt%281%5E2%2B9%5E2%29=sqrt%2882%29.

a sandbox is shaped like a rectangle with a width of 9 times it’s [sic] length l. what is a simplified expression for the distance between opposite corners of the sandbox?
------------
it's = it is
=====================
If it's length L, then W = 9L
Diagonal+=+sqrt%28%289L%29%5E2+%2B+L%5E2%29+=+L%2Asqrt%2882%29
