Gina looks at the architectural plan of a four-walled room in which the walls meet each other at right angles. The length of one wall in the plan is 17 inches. The length of the diagonal of the floor of the room in the plan is approximately 18.79 inches. Is the room in the shape of a square? Explain how you determined your answer. Show all your work.

Respuesta :

No,The room is not a square shaped.This is because.Perimeter of the square shape would be length of any sides×4 as all sides will be the same in a square.Therefore, if the room ia a square, the 4 sides of room floor will be equal too.It is not a square shaped room beacause it sides are not equal for floor.We can determine by finding the sides;
diagonal is 18.75 so by using pythagoras theorem
diagonal^2 =l^2 + b^2
b^2=18.75^2 + 17^2
b =25.31 inches which is not the same as the length 17 inches.Therefore,the room is not a square
