If a prism is 12 cm tall, 3 cm long on one side and 4cm on the other, what is the length of the diagnoal of the prism
To find the length of the diagonal of the prism, we can use the Pythagorean theorem.
Let the length of the diagonal be d. We have a right triangle with one side length of 3 cm, another side length of 4 cm, and a hypotenuse of d cm.
Using the Pythagorean theorem, we have:
d^2 = 3^2 + 4^2
d^2 = 9 + 16
d^2 = 25
d = √25
d = 5 cm
Therefore, the length of the diagonal of the prism is 5 cm.
