A rectangular swimming pool is 19 m wide by 35 m long. what is the length of the diagonal of the pool round to the nearest 10th

39.8

Step-by-step explanation:

for this question, use the Pythagorean theorem which is:

a^2 + b^2 = c^3

a = 35

b = 19

c = the answer

lets solve it:

35^2 + 19^2 = c^2

solve the exponents first

1225 + 361 = c^2

1586 = c^2

square root both to find c

(the answer is rounded)

39.824 = c

rounded to nearest 10th:

c = 39.8

the answer is 39.8m

Step-by-step explanation:

You divide the pool with the diagonal and you obtain a right angled triangle with its base as 35m and its height as 19m. then using pythagoras theorem, you find the length of the hypotenuse and this is the length of the diagonal of the pool.
