Question 767986: A piece of fabric is 24cm wide.The diagonal length of the fabric is 40cm long.what is the length of the piece of fabric? Answer by Cromlix(4381) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! A right angled triangle:
Width (base of triangle)= 24cm
Diagonal (hypotenuse) = 40cm
Length (vertical side of triangle)= x
x^2 + 24^2 = 40^2
x^2 = 40^2 - 24^2
x^2 = 1024
x =
x = 32cm
Length is 34cm
Hope this helps.
