Amy has a rectangular garden that is 23 feet wide. If the length of the garden is 12 feet, what is the length of its diagonal, in feet? Round to the nearest tenth​

25.9 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

If you split a rectangle into 2 pieces with a diagonal, each piece will be a right triangle

Therefore we can use the pythagorean theorem to solve this problem

The two legs of the right triangle will be 23 and 12

The formula is a^2 +b^2=c^2

c^2 is the diagonal squared ( the hypotenuse)

So:

12^2+23^2=c^2

144+529=c^2

673=c^2

To find just c we need to find the square root of 673, rounded to the nearest tenth

(the equation is rounded)

So the diagonal is 25.9

12*c

step-by-step explanation:

m∠cdf = 43° , m∠gdf = 114°, m∠gde = 23°, m∠edh = 23° , m∠cdh = 157°

step-by-step explanation:

since, it is given that de bisects the angle gdh ⇒ de divides the angle gdh into two equal angles.

⇒ m∠gde = m∠edh

⇒ 8·x   - 1 = 6·x + 5

⇒ x = 3

so, m∠gde = 8·x - 1 = 23°

and m∠edh = 23°

now, it is given ∠cde is an straight angle so, m∠cde = 180°

⇒ m∠cdf + m∠fdg + m∠gde = 180°

⇒ 43° + m∠fdg + 23° = 180°

⇒ m∠fdg = 114°

again, m∠cde = m∠cdh + m∠edh = 180°

m∠cdh + 23° = 180°

⇒ m∠cdh = 157°
