(a)
Thelength of diagonal AB.
Answer to Problem 1A
The length of diagonal AB is
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The dimensions of rectangular solid block are
Calculation:
To calculate the length of diagonal AB, the length of side BC is required. Let us consider the triangle BDC, the angle D of the triangle is a right-angle, so the triangle BDC is a right-angle triangle.
In triangle BDC, the length of side BC can be calculated from Pythagorean theorem.
Let us consider the triangle ABC, the angle C of the triangle is a right-angle, so the triangle ABC is a right-angle triangle.
In triangle ABC, the length of side AB can be calculated from Pythagorean theorem.
Conclusion:
Thus, the true length of diagonal AB is
(b)
The value of

- A rectangular solid has length L=12.6 mm, width W=23.8 mm, and height H=32.5 mm. Find the length of a diagonal AB from the upper left rear vertex to the lower right front vertex. Round the answer to 1 decimal place.arrow_forwardFor compactness, the drop-down wheels of a stretcher or gurney are folded under it as shown. In order for the boards upper surface to be parallel to the ground when the wheels are dropped, what relationship must exist between AB and CD?arrow_forwarda. Given: CD=184 mm and CE=118 mm. Determine CF and CD. CF = CD= b. Given: FD=26 mm and CD=78 mm. Determine CD and ED. CD = ED=arrow_forward
