One is to measurethe diagonal with the ruler. Second method is tomeasure the width and length, then calculate thediagonal by using the Pythagorean theorem. Using thefirst method, you measure the diagonal as 14". Usingthe second method, you measure 8.5" by 11". squaringeach and adding, you get 193.25 sq in, then you takethe square root to determine the calculated diagonallength. The calculator shows the number, 13.901439.Should you write down all of these numbers in youranswer? Why or why not? What happens if, instead ofusing 193.25, you round off in the middle ofyourcalculation to 190 and take the square root?
