Answer:

19.21m is the diagonal

Step-by-step explanation:

We are looking for the diagonal, which makes it the hypotenuse of a right triangle, with the legs being 15 and 12

We can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

12^2 + 15^2 = c^2

144 +225 = c^2

369 = c^2

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(369) = sqrt(c^2)

19.209 =c

19.21 m = c

We can solve for the diagonal using its formula: D = √L² + W²

D = √15² + 12²

D = √225 + 144

D = √369

D = 19.209..

Round to the nearest hundredth.

19.209… -> 19.21 meters

Hence, the diagonal of the house is roughly 19.21 meters.

Best of Luck!

Answer:

$180x^4y^3z^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by finding the LCM of the coefficients of each polynomial:

$LCM(12,18,30)=180$

Next, to find the least common multiple of each of the following terms, we need to take the absolute minimum we can of each term ( $x$ , $y$ , and $z$ ). The largest term of $x$ is $x^4$ in the first polynomial, so we'll take exactly that for our $x$ term in the LCM, absolutely nothing more. Similarly, the largest term of $y$ in any of the three polynomials is $y^3$ (also in the first polynomial) and the largest $z$ term in any of the three polynomials is $z^2$ in the second polynomial. Thus, the LCM of all our polynomials is:
