Question

What is the longest straight line that can be drawn on a floor which is 8 m by 6 m.

Answer 1

$\large \tt AHOY!! \:$

in a rectangular floor, diagonal is the longest line.

given :-

length = 8m

breadth = 6m

by Pythagoras theorem,

=> diagonal = √(l²(length) + b²(breadth)

=> diagonal = √(8² + 6²)

=> diagonal = √(64 + 36)

=> diagonal = √100

=> diagonal = 10m

hence, the longest straight line that can be drawn on the floor which is 8m by 6m is 10m.

Answer 2

Answer:

10m

Step-by-step explanation:

length = 8m , breadth =6m

diagonal = 8square + 6square

= 64 + 36

= 100 square

=10m
