Geometry > Q.1 Pythagorean theorem F55 Hayley's bedroom is 20 feet long and 15 feet wide. Starting at the far left corner, Hayley walks down the length, across the width, and then diagonally back to the far left corner. How far does Hayley walk?​

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

60 feet

Explanation:

The length of the diagonal can be found from the Pythagorean theorem.

d = √(15² +20²) = √(225 +400) = √625

d = 25

Then the distance Haley walks is ...

20 ft + 15 ft + 25 ft = 60 ft
