find the length of diagonal of a rectangle whose length is 24 cm and breadth is 7 cm
Answers
Assume the rectangle be ABCD and length be AC & BD and Breadth BA & CD. Let their be AC. As all angles of rectangle measures 90 degree. So if the diagonal is drawn in recangle so it forms 2 right angled triangle and now we use PYTHAGORAS THEOREM.
Let triangle ABC be a right angled triangle. Now the lenght be x and breadth be y and diagonal (hypotenuse)be z.
According to Pythagoras theorem.
(x)square+(y)square=(z)square
Let x=24
y=7
(24×24)+(7×7)(z)square
576+49=625
Now square root of 625 is 25. So the diagonal is 25 cm
Answer:
Diagonal of rectangle is 25 cm.
Step-by-step-explanation:
The diagonal of rectangle is like a hypotenuse.
So, by Pythagors Theorem
(Hypotenuse)² = (Length)² + (Breadth)²
=> (Diagonal)² = (24)² + (7)²
=> (Diagonal)² = 576 + 49
=> (Diagonal)² = 625
=> Diagonal = 25 cm
Hence,
Diagonal of rectangle is 25 cm.
