a rectange has the sides (-6, -3) (4, -3) (-6, 8) (4, 8) on a graph. what is the diagonal of the rectangle
To find the diagonal of the rectangle, we need to find the distance between two opposite corners of the rectangle.
Using the distance formula, the distance between the points (-6, -3) and (4, 8) is:
√[ (4 - (-6))² + (8 - (-3))² ]
= √[ 10² + 11² ]
= √[ 100 + 121 ]
= √221
Therefore, the diagonal of the rectangle is √221 units.
