Angelica won an iPad in an office raffle. The iPad screen measures 12 inches in length and 9 inches in width. Find the diagonal length of the iPad screen.
Units: inches
To find the diagonal length, we can use the Pythagorean theorem. Let's call the diagonal length "d".
Using the Pythagorean theorem, we have:
d^2 = 12^2 + 9^2
d^2 = 144 + 81
d^2 = 225
Taking the square root of both sides, we have:
d = √225
d = 15
Therefore, the diagonal length of the iPad screen is 15 inches.
