Anne is designing a shower for a client. the shower includes a triangular-shaped ledge for storage.
select a number from the drop down menu to correctly complete the statement.
the length of the diagonal portion of the shower ledge is .

The length of diagonal portion of the shower ledge is 1.44 ft .

Step-by-step explanation:

By using the Pythagorean theorem in  shower ledge portion .

Hypotenuse² =  Perpendicular² + Base²

As shown in the diagram.

Take

Perpedicular = 1.2 ft

Base = 0.8 ft

Hypotenuse = Diagonal length

Put in the above

Diagonal length² =  (1.2)² + (0.8)²

Diagonal length² =  1.44 + 0.64

Diagonal length² =  2.08

Diagonal length = 1.44 ft (Approx)

Therefore the length of  diagonal portion of the shower ledge is 1.44 ft .
