Question

1. the pythagorean theorem can be used to calculate: a. the volume of a cylinder b. the area of a circle c. the surface area of a sphere d. the length of the diagonal in a rectangle

Explanation:

The Pythagorean Theorem ($a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}$) is used for right - angled triangles. In a rectangle, the diagonal and two adjacent sides form a right - angled triangle. So it can calculate the length of the diagonal in a rectangle. The volume of a cylinder, area of a circle and surface area of a sphere are calculated using different formulas.

Answer:

d. The length of the diagonal in a rectangle
