Question

The foundation of a building is in the shape of a rectangle, with a length of 20 meters (m) and a width of 18 m. To the nearest meter, what is the distance from the top left corner of the foundation to the bottom right corner?

Answer 1

27m

Explanation:

It's the Pythagorean Theorem.

20^2+18^2=c^2

400+324=c^2

724=c^2

take the square root of both sides

26.9m=c

to the nearest meter = 27
