Given:
Length of sheet of paper = 45 centimeters
width of the sheet of paper = 60 centimeters
To find:
The length of the diagonal cut that Eduardo made.
Solution:
We know that, a sheet of paper is a rectangle.
Diagonal of a rectangle is
[tex]Diagonal=\sqrt{length^2+width^2}[/tex]
Putting length = 45 and width = 60, we get
[tex]Diagonal=\sqrt{(45)^2+(60)^2}[/tex]
[tex]Diagonal=\sqrt{2025+3600}[/tex]
[tex]Diagonal=\sqrt{5625}[/tex]
[tex]Diagonal=75[/tex]
Therefore, the length of the diagonal cut that Eduardo made is 75 centimeters.
