Marcy’s breakfast table has a square table top with an area of 36 square feet. What is the diagonal length of the table top? how do you solve this i need help

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the length side of the square

we know that

The area of the square is given by the formula

where

b is the length side of the square

we have

substitute

solve for b

step 2

Find the diagonal length of the table top

Let

d ----> the diagonal length of the table top

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

substitute the value of b

the difference between a number and 5 is -2.

step-by-step explanation:

notice that the equation you are given has -2 (negative 2) on the right side, not 2. when you subtract 5 from a number n, you are finding the difference between the number and 5.
