Lena’s guest house is 15 m long and 12 m wide how long is the diagonal of the house?

imagine the diagonal of a rectangle being the split between two triangles. you are trying to find the longest side of the triangle, which is the "diagonal" of the rectangle.

to find the length of a side of a triangle, use the Pythagorean theorem. it is : a^2 + b^2 = c^2

so... plug in your data like this...

15^2 + 12^2= c^2.

225 + 144 = the square root of 369.

that is rounded to 19.2

this is just how I would solve this problem, if I helped you out please just let me know by voting me brainliest! Haha just kidding :)

yo answer should be 6 if im not mistaken

step-by-step explanation:

slope =   (y2 -y1) ÷ (x2 -x1)

slope = (0 -0) / (-5, -7)

slope = 0 / -12 = 0

the slope of the line is zero.   it is perfectly horizontal.
