Answer 1

Part A.

w = √(d^2 - l^2)

Part B.

w = 6ft

Explanation:

length l = 8ft

diagonal d = 10ft

width w = ?

we can see it as a Trangle, so using a Pythagorean theorem,

d^2 = l^2 + w^2

w = √ (d^2 - l^2)

w = √ (10^2 - 8^2)

w = √ (100 - 64)

w = √ 36

w = 6

Answer 2

Part A.

w = √(d^2 - l^2)

Part B.

w = 6ft

w = 6
