Given:
Dimensions of the rectangular table are 40 inches by 25 inches.
To find:
The length of the diagonal of the table.
Solution:
Diagonal of a rectangle is:
[tex]d=\sqrt{l^2+w^2}[/tex]
Where, l is the length and w is the width of the rectangle.
Putting [tex]l=40,w=25[/tex] in the above formula, we get
[tex]d=\sqrt{(40)^2+(25)^2}[/tex]
[tex]d=\sqrt{1600+625}[/tex]
[tex]d=\sqrt{2225}[/tex]
[tex]d\approx 47.17[/tex]
Therefore, the length of the diagonal is about 47.17 inches.
