Given,
Length of the rectangle piece of fabric, l = 5 yards
Width of the rectangular piece of fabric, b = 19 inches
To find,
The length of the diagonal.
Solution,
The relation between Yards and inches is :
1 Yard = 36 inches
5 yards = 180 inches
Let x be the diagonal. It can be calculated as :
[tex]x=\sqrt{l^2+b^2} \\\\x=\sqrt{180^2+19^2} \\\\x=181\ inches[/tex]
Hence, the length of the diagonal is 181 inches
