Mr. winston is adding a sunroom to his house. after laying the foundation and building the frame he double checks his measurements. mr. winston found that his 14 ft by 13 ft (rectangular) sunroom had a diagonal measurement of 20 ft. why is mr. winston in trouble?

The measurement of the diagonal is NOT CORRECT.

So, Mr. Winston is in trouble.

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the rectangular room = 14 ft

The width of the room  = 13 ft

Let us assume the length of the diagonal  = m

Now,a s the room is a rectangle so, by PYTHAGORAS THEOREM:

⇒

or, the length of the diagonal of the room is 19.10 ft

But here, given the sun room had a diagonal measurement of 20 ft.

Hence, the measurement of the diagonal is NOT CORRECT. So, Mr. Winston is in trouble.
