Answer 2

Answer:

27

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagonal of the floor of a rectangular closet is 7 1/2 feet. The shorter side of the closet is 4 1/2 feet. What is the area of the closet in square feet?

Diagonal = 7 1/2 feet = 15/2 feet

one side = 4 1/2 feer = 9/2 feet

Other side = x

applying Pythagoras theorem

(15/2)² = (9/2)² + x²

=> 225/4 = 81/4 + x²

=> 225 - 81 = 4x²

=> 4x² = 144

=> x² = 36

=> x = 6

Area of closet = 6 * 9/2   = 27 sq feet

option C is correct answer
