Mrs. Freeman is trying to determine if her new desk will fit through her classroom door. Her desk of her is 59 inches wide. She knows that the height of the door is 80 inches and the diagonal measure of the door is 100 inches. Determine the width of her door de ella and whether or not her new desk will fit. Justify your conclusion.

x = 60

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation is a^2 + b^2 = c^2.

If you draw out the problem, you plug in the information into the formula, so it would be...

x^2 + 80^2 = 100^2.

80^2 = 6,400 and 100^2 = 10,000.

x^2 + 6,400 = 10,000.

You subtract 6,400 from itself and 10,000 and then you get...

x^2 = 3,600.

You square both of those and your final answer will be x = 60.
