Tyler measured the floor of his storage unit, which is rectangular. It is 8 feet wide and 17 feet from one corner to the opposite corner. How long is the storage unit?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The container is 15 feet long

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2}[/tex]

[tex]8^{2} +b^{2} =17^{2}[/tex]

[tex]64+b^{2} =289[/tex]

[tex]64-64+b^{2} =289-64[/tex]

[tex]b^{2} =225[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{225} =15[/tex]

b=15 feet
