Niki is decorating a rectangular dining table for a party. the length of the table is 8 feet and the width is 6 feet. niki put a ribbion diagonally across the tble. what is the length of the ribbion in feet

10 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

this is a Pythagorean Theorem Problem

A rectangle has 4 right angles. The diagonal cuts the table in 1/2 into 2 triangles.

Formula

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

Givens

a = 6

b = 8

Solution

c^2 = 6^2 + 8^2        Substitute into the formula. Expand the givens

c^2 = 36 + 64            Add on the right

c^2 = 100                   Take the square root on both sides

sqrt(c^2) = sqrt(100)

c = 10

x coordinate is none
