Question 727940
The floor of storage unit is 12 feet long and 16 feet wide. What is the distance between two opposite corners of the floor? 
----
Draw the picture.
You have a rectangle with base = 16 ft and height = 12 ft.
Draw a diagonal connecting opposite corners.
Use Pythagoras to find the length of the diagonal.
d^2 = 12^2 + 16^2
d^2 = 144 + 256
d^2 = 400
d = sqrt(400) = 20 ft
