The diagonal length of the suitcase is 16.12 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
Length of the suitcase = 14 inches
Width of the suitcase = 8 inches
We need to compute the diagonal length of the suitcase.
Step 2 :
The diagonal length of the suitcase is the diagonal of the rectangle with the above given dimensions
The diagonal and the 2 sides form a right angled triangle and hence the diagonal can be computed using the Pythagoras theorem
So the diagonal² = 14² + 8² = 196 + 64 = 260
the diagonal = √260 = 16.12 inches
Step 3 :
Answer :
The diagonal length of the suitcase is 16.12 inches.
