Karen is building supports for the underside of a table. The supports will lie along the diagonals of a rectangular region as shown in the diagram. To the nearest tenth, the length of each support

Each diagonal is the same length...and each forms the HYPOTENUSE of a right triangle with leg lengths 2.3 and 5.6 ft
use Pythagorean Theorem: c = hypotenuse a and b are the legs
c^2 = a^2 + b^2
c^2 = 2.32 + 5.62
c = diagonal = 6.1 ft
