A Useful Hypotenuse

Find each of the following measurements in meters: the length of your classroom, the width of your classroom, and the height of your classroom.

Using the measurements you found and what you know about the Pythagorean Theorem, find the distance between one of the top corners in your classroom and the bottom corner that is opposite it (the distance from point A to point B in the figure).
