Question 570776: in woods class you have made a rectangular table that is 36"*18" with a fancy base, carved edges and an extra leaf. you are thinking ths is an A project 'til you notice Mr. Gross measuring the diagonl of the table. he measures the diagonal of 43" and shakes his head. is he amazed at the accuracy of your table or is he shaking his head because your table is not a rectangle?

diagonal = sqrt(36^2 + 18^2) = 40.249 ft

If the table were a rectangle, the diagonal would be 40.249 ft. This is not the case, so the table is not a rectangle.
