a carpet measures 7 feet long and has a diagonal measurement of (74) square root feet. find the width of the carpet

Answer :

Let's use Pythagorean Theorem to solve this problem:

[tex]\sqrt[]{74}^2=w^2+7^2[/tex]

[tex]74=w^2\text{ + 49}[/tex]

Solving for w:

[tex]\begin{gathered} w\text{ = }\sqrt[]{74\text{ - 49}} \\ w\text{ = 5} \end{gathered}[/tex]

w = 5ft
