The length of the diagonal of the floor of the room in the plan is approximately 15.26 inches. Is the room in the shape of a square? Explain how you determined your answer

Answer 1

Answer:

The length of one wall in the plan is 13 inches. The length of the diagonal of the floor of the room in the plan is approximately 15.26 inches. ... Show all your work. ... of the shape would be 8 & 13, so it is rectangle not a square as they are ... four-walled room in which the walls meet each other at right angle

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

It is not the shape of a square

Solve:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

13^2 + b^2 = 15.26^2

16 + b^2 = 232.86

b^2 = 232.86 - 16

b^2 = 216.86

√ b^2 - √ 216.86

b = 14.72 

​​​​​​​Which 14.72 is not equal to 15.26

Step-by-step explanation:

Finding an unknown leg (A or B)

1. Identify a, b, and c.

2. Apply the Pythagorean Theorem

3. Solve for the unkown leg (A or B)
