Find the length of the diagonal of a rectangle. Round your answer to nearest tenth.

Answer:
19.2m
Step-by-step explanation:
"Slice" the rectangle into two right triangles (slice along the diagonal). Now you can use the Pythagorean theorem to calculate the length of the diagonal:
[tex]a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2} \\12^{2}+15^{2} =c^{2} \\144+225=c^{2} \\\sqrt{369} =\sqrt{c^{2} }\\19.2m =c[/tex]
