If a rectangle measures 54 meters by 72 meters, what is the length, in meters, of the diagonal of the rectangle?
Can someone explain this one?


Sagot :

Sitara
Use the Pythagoras therom.
let the diagonal be x
⇒54²+72²=x²
⇒8100=x²
x=90meters
let the diagonal be a.
now, as we know that each angle in a rectangle is right angle.
thus we have a right angled triangle.
now, we can apply pythagoras theorum.
a^2 = 54^2 + 72^2
= 2916 + 5184
=8100
thus, a^2 = 8100
thus, a = 90.
Thus the diagonal is 90metres.
