Question

A pool has a width of 34.5 feet and an area of 755 feet, determine the diagonal. Round to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

40.9 feet

Explanation:

Rectangle area = length * width

A = l*w

w = 34.5 ft

A = 755 ft.

find diagonal length.

l = A/w = 755/34.5 = 21.884057 = 151/6.9 ft.

d = root ( w^2 + l^2) = root (34.5^2 + (151/6.9)^2 )

d = root( 1,190.25 + 478.91195)

d = 40.8553784 ft
