Question

4 Find the area of a plot one side of which is 48m and its diagonal50​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let ABCD be the rectangular plot.

Then, AB = 48 m and AC = 50 m BC =? According to Pythagoras theorem,

From right angle triangle ABC, we have: = AC^2 = AB^2 + BC^2

= 50^2 = 48^2 + BC^2

= BC^2 = 50^2 – 48^2

= BC^2 = 2500 – 2304

= BC^2 = 196

= BC = √196

= BC = 14 m

Hence, the area of the rectangle plot = (l × b)

Where, l = 48 m, b = 14 m

Then, = (48 × 14) = 672 m 2
