A string is attached to opposite corners of a piece of wood that is 6 inches wide and 14
inches long (see figure). Set up an equation to determine the length of the string. Solve the
equation. (Answer should be in simplified radical form. Insert a math equation to type the
equation used and your answer)

Respuesta :

Answer:

The string is [tex]\sqrt{232}[/tex] in long.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use Pythagorean Theorem

6^2 + 14^2 = x^2        Simplify

36 + 196 = x^2            Add

232 = x^2                    Take the square root of both sides

x = [tex]\sqrt{232}[/tex] in
