Question

question 8 a park is the shape of a rectangle. it is 8 miles long and 6 miles wide. how much shorter is the walk along the diagonal versus the two sides? the distance of the diagonal is \boxed{} miles. the distance of the two sides is \boxed{} miles. the diagonal is \boxed{} miles shorter versus the two sides.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate diagonal length

Use Pythagorean theorem: $d = \sqrt{l^2 + w^2} = \sqrt{8^2 + 6^2} = \sqrt{64 + 36} = \sqrt{100} = 10$

Step2: Calculate two sides distance

Sum length and width: $l + w = 8 + 6 = 14$

Step3: Find distance difference

Subtract diagonal from side sum: $14 - 10 = 4$

Answer:

The distance of the diagonal is 10 miles.
The distance of the two sides is 14 miles.
The diagonal is 4 miles shorter versus the two sides.
