Answer:
The table should measure diagonally about 41.23 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the diagonal of a rectangle we use the formula :
[tex]a^{2}[/tex] + [tex]b^{2}[/tex] = [tex]c^{2}[/tex]
A and B both represent the side lengths of the rectangle, while C is the diagonal part. Knowing this formula, let's plug in the values for A and B and see what happens.
[tex]32^{2}[/tex] + [tex]26^{2}[/tex] = [tex]c^{2}[/tex]
1024 + 676 = [tex]c^{2}[/tex]
1700 = [tex]c^{2}[/tex]
The square root of 1700 is (rounded to the hundreth's place) = 41.23
