HELP!!!!

Answer 1

Answer:

C. 12.04 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Diagonal of a prism cam be solved using the extension of Pythagorean theorem which is given as:

d² = x² + y² + z²

x = 10 in.

y = 6 in.

z = 3 in.

d² = 10² + 6² + 3²

d² = 100 + 36 + 9

d² = 145

d = √145

d = 12.0415946

d = 12.04 inches (nearest hundredth)
