What is the length of the dotted line in the diagram below? Round to the nearest tenth. *Will mark brainliest*

The dotted line is 4.9

Step-by-step explanation:

The lower triangle is a right triangle so we can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2+b^2 = c^2

where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

2^2 + 4^2 = c^2

4+16 = c^2

20 =c^2

Taking the square root of each side

sqrt(20) = c

The upper rectangle has a length of sqrt(20) and a height of 2

We can use the  Pythagorean theorem

a^2+b^2 = c^2

where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse  to find the  diagonal

2^2 + (sqrt(20))^2 = c^2

4+20 = c^2

24 = c^2

Taking the square root of each side

sqrt(24) = c

4.898979486=c

Rounding to the nearest tenth

4.9 =c

what is the answer?
