The length and width of a rectangular frame is 15 inches and 8 inches. What is the length of the diagonal of this frame

The length of the diagonal of the frame equal 17 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagonal dividing the rectangle as made the rectangle 2 triangles

So according to Pythagoras Theorem,

Hypothenus² = opposite² + adjacent²

The diagonal lent is the Hypothenus.

so the two other sides are taking as opposite and adjacent respectively

so taking h as hypothenus,

h² = 15² + 8²

h² = 225 + 64

h² = 289

h = √289

h = 17
