A rectangular swimming pool is 24 meters by 10 meters. jane said she could swim diagonally from one corner to another without taking a breath. How far can she swim without taking a breath?

26 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Each side of the swimming pool is a leg of a right triangle, and the diagonal is the hypotenuse. We can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(24 m)^2 + (10 m)^2 = c^2

576 m^2 + 100 m^2 = c^2

676 m^2 = c^2

c = sqrt(676 m^2)

c = 26 m

She can swim 26 meters without taking a breath.

the final function for the graph becomes x-2=-1. before graphing you solve the equation, where x=1. then graph accordingly.   ( on the x-axis, 1 on the line will possess a vertical line.)
