Answer:

The diagonal is 30 inches

step-by-step explanation:

The diagonal is 30 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming a rectangular suitcase (with right angles), we can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve this

a² + b² = c²

so we plug our two values to find the diagonal (hypotenuse)

24² + 18² = c²

576 + 324 = c²

900 = c²

c = √900

c = 30

The diagonal is 30 inches
