Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation: You can find the diagonal of a rectangle if you have the width and the height. The diagonal equals the square root of the width squared plus the height squared.

Answer 2

Answer:

Diagonal of the rectangle is 10 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rectangle can be divided into two right angle triangles where the diagonal of the rectangle will be the hypotenuse of the triangle, length will be the base of the triangle and breadth will be the height of the triangle.

Length = 8cm Breadth = 6 cm

Using Pythagoras theorem we'll be able to find the hypotenuse (diagonal of the rectangle)

Hypotenuse² = base² + height²

Hypotenuse² = 8² + 6²

Hypotenuse² = 64 + 36

Hypotenuse = √100

Hypotenuse = 10 cm

Hence, the diagonal of the rectangle measures 10 cm
