Question

The walls in a square room are each 14 feet long. What is the distance from one corner of the room to the opposite corner?

Answer 1

19.79 ft

Explanation:

Given data

We are given that the dimension of the room is

Length= 14ft

Width= 14ft

Required

The Diagonal of the room

Applying the Pythagoras theorem we have

D^2= L^2+W^2

substitute

D^2= 14^2+14^2

D^2= 196+196

D^2= 392

D= √392

D= 19.79 ft

Hence the distance from one corner to the other is 19.79 ft
