20 ft
The ceiling of Stacy's living room is a square that is 20 ft long on each side. Stacy
knows the diagonal of the ceiling from corner to corner must be longer than 20 ft.
but she doesn't know how long it is.
Solve for the length of the diagonal of Stacy's ceiling in two ways:
(a) Using the Pythagorean Theorem.
(b) Using trigonometry.
Round each answer to the nearest whole number and make sure to show all your
work. (Hint: the answers should be the same!)

Respuesta :

The value of the diagonal will be equal to 20√2.

What is the Pythagorean theorem?

Pythagorean theorem states that in the right angle triangle the hypotenuse square is equal to the square of the sum of the other two sides.

The value of the diagonal by the Pythagorean theorem.

H²  =  B²  +  P²

H²  =  20²  +   20²

H²  =  400   +  400

H  =  √800

H  =  20√2

Therefore the value of the diagonal will be equal to 20√2.
