joey made a sandwich that was 2 inches long and 4 inches high . if he cuts the sandwhich in half , what would be the diagonal length of the sandwhich?​

Respuesta :

Answer:

4.47 or 2√5

Step-by-step explanation:

Cutting the sandwich in half will create 2 right triangles. The longest side, the diagonal, called the hypotenuse is found using the Pythagorean Theorem.

The sides of the right triangle will be 2, 4, and c.

[tex]a^2+b^2=c^2\\2^2 + 4^2 = c^2\\4 + 16 = c^2\\20 = c^2\\\sqrt{20} = c\\2\sqrt{5} = c\\4.47 = c[/tex]
