Jennifer brought an umbrella on a business trip. The umbrella is 29 inches long. Jennifer thinks she can bring the umbrella home in her suitcase.

Is she correct?
Explain using your understanding of the Pythagorean Theorem to answer.

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

the length of the diagonal of the suitcase is 30 in.

pythagorean theorem: a^2+b^2=c^2

(the length times the height=the diagonal)

So, 24^2 + 18^2=something

24^2=576

18^2=324

576+324= 900

square root of 900=30

so, c equals 30

therefore the diagonal =30 , so there's plenty of space to put the umbrella because it's less long than the diagonal

14.3

step-by-step explanation:

add all the numbers together.

9 + 12 + 15 + 16 + 17 + 17 = 86

now, divide 86 by how many numbers we have: 6.

86 / 6 = 14.3
