Sagot :

Answer:

18√2 or 25.46 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • the hypotenuse of a triangle is legs times √2 or L√2.
  • we get

[tex]l = 18 \\ hyp = l \sqrt{2} \\ 18 \sqrt{2} \\ 25.46[/tex]

using pythagorean theorem we get:

[tex] {c}^{2} = {a}^{2} + {b}^{2} \\ {c}^{2} = {18}^{2} + {18}^{2} \\ {c}^{2} = 324 + 324 \\ \sqrt{ {c}^{2} } = \sqrt{648} \\ c = 25.46[/tex]

therefore, the length of the tie is 25.46 inches.
