A mouse has made holes in opposite corners of a rectangular kitchen. The width of the kitchen is 2 meters, and the distance between the mouse's holes is 6 meters. What is the length of the kitchen? If necessary, round to the nearest tenth.

  5.7 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean theorem can be used to find the second leg (b) of a triangle with diagonal (c) 6 meters and first leg (a) 2 meters.

  c^2 = a^2 + b^2

  6^2 = 2^2 +b^2

  b^2 = 36 -4 = 32

  b = √32 ≈ 5.7 . . . . meters

The kitchen is about 5.7 meters long.

answer: option a.

step-by-step explanation:

you know that the quadrilateral opqr ( a four sided figure) is inscribed in circle. this means that all its vertices are on the circle.

then, by definition, the opposite angles of the quadrilateral are supplementary, this means that the sum of their measures is 180 degrees.

you can observe in the figure that the angles ∠opq   and the angle ∠orq   are opposite, therefore:

then, can be used to d to calculate the measure of ∠opq
