Question

A rectangle has breadth x and length y.if the diagonal is 3x then what is the ratio between the two sides (length and breadth)??

Answer 1

Answer:

1 / 2√2 = √2 / 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Diagonal² = Length² + Breadth²                (Pythagoras Theorem)

(3x)² = x² + y²

9x² = x² + y²

y² = 8x²

y = 2√2x

x / y = 1 / 2√2 = √2 / 4
