The tiles in a store are being compared. The diagonal of one tile is 9/2 centimeters, and the other tile is 8/2 centimeters. What is the difference in the length of the diagonals?
To find the difference in the length of the diagonals, we need to subtract the length of one diagonal from the other.
The first tile has a diagonal of 9/2 centimeters and the second tile has a diagonal of 8/2 centimeters.
9/2 - 8/2 = (9-8)/2 = 1/2
Therefore, the difference in the length of the diagonals is 1/2 centimeters.
To find the difference in length between the diagonals of the two tiles, we subtract the length of one diagonal from the length of the other diagonal.
Length of the first diagonal = 9/2 centimeters
Length of the second diagonal = 8/2 centimeters
Difference in length = Length of the second diagonal - Length of the first diagonal
= (8/2) - (9/2)
Since the denominators are the same, we can subtract the numerators directly:
= 8/2 - 9/2
= (8 - 9)/2
= -1/2
Therefore, the difference in length between the diagonals is -1/2 centimeters or -0.5 centimeters.
To find the difference in the length of the diagonals, we need to subtract the length of one diagonal from the length of the other diagonal.
Let's start by finding the difference between the lengths of the diagonals:
Length of first diagonal = 9/2 centimeters
Length of second diagonal = 8/2 centimeters
To find the difference, subtract the length of the second diagonal from the length of the first diagonal:
Difference = (9/2) - (8/2)
To simplify the calculation, we can first simplify the fractions:
Difference = 4.5 - 4
Now, subtract the decimal values:
Difference = 0.5 centimeters
So, the difference in the length of the diagonals is 0.5 centimeters.
