a standard sheet of white lined paper measures 8.5 inches by 10 inches to the nearest tenth of an inch , what is the length of the diagonal

The length of the piece of paper diagonally is 13.1 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, I decided to imagine the diagonal line as the hypotenuse of a right triangle, and use the Pythagorean Theorem, a^2 + b^2 = c^2.

In this case, it would be 8.5^2 + 10^2 = ?^2.

8.5^2 = 72.25, and 10^2 = 100.

72.25 + 100 = 172.25, which equals c^2.

However, since 172.25 inches is c squared and not just c, we need to find the square root of it, which is 13.1, rounded to the nearest tenth.

Hope this helps.

fahrenheit

step-by-step explanation:

fahrenheit is more precise than celsius. the ambient temperature on most of the inhabited world ranges from -20 degrees fahrenheit to 110 degrees fahrenheit—a 130-degree range. on the celsius scale, that range is from -28.8 degrees to 43.3 degrees—a 72.1-degree range. this means that you can get a more exact measurement of the air temperature using fahrenheit because it uses almost twice the scale.
