Question

A rectangular swimming pool is 25 meters long and 12 meters wide.

What is the distance from corner to corner?

Answer 1

Explanation:

when we put a line from corner to corner, we get a triangle

since we know two side lengths of this triangle we can solve for the length by using pythagorean theorem

25^2 +12^2 = c^2

625 + 144 = c^2

769 = c^2

square root(769) = c

c = 27.73 ft
