Question 1025716
.
The dimensions of a rectangular box are length = 15 in., width = 12 n., and height = 9 in. Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the following.

A. the length of a diagonal of the bottom of the box

B. the length of a diagonal of the box, d
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


<pre>
A. the length of a diagonal of the bottom of the box = {{{sqrt(15^2 + 12^2)}}} = {{{sqrt(225 + 144)}}} = {{{sqrt(269)}}} = 17 in.


B. the length of a diagonal of the box, d = {{{sqrt(15^2 + 12^2 + 9^2)}}} = {{{sqrt(269 + 81)}}} = {{{sqrt(350)}}} = 18.71 in. (approximately).
