A suitcase measures 21 inches by 16 inches. What is the length of the diagonal of the suitcase to the nearest tenth of an inch?

Step-by-step explanation:

we have a rectangle that measure 21 inches by 16 inches

to find the rectangle(which is the hypotenuse)  we will use Pythagorean theorem

c^=a^2+b^2

c^=21^2+16^2=697

c= =26.40 which rounded to the nearest tenth =26

step-by-step explanation:

- "runner b is moving at a slower rate."

- "the graphs shown are graphs of distance(km) against time(min).

the slopes of this graphs are are given by:

slope = (change in y)/(change in x)

= (change in distance)/(change in time)

this is the formula for finding the speed. so, the slope of these graphs represent the speed of the runner.

taking each division in the graph to represent 1 on both axis:

runner a ⇒ speed = (2-0)/(1-0)

= 2/1

= 2 km/min

runner b ⇒ speed = (3-0)/(3-0)

= 3/3

= 1 km/min

this shows that   runner b is moving at a slower rate."
