Find the perimeter of the rectangle whose length is 40 cm, and a diagonal is 41 cm
Answers
Answer:
By Pythagoras theorem,
(Diagonal)^2=(Length)^2+(Width)^2
Now as given in the question,
Diagonal = 41 cm.
Length = 40 cm.
So, Putting these value we get,
(41)^2=(40)^2+(Width)^2
(Width)^2=(41)^2-(40)^2
(Width)^2=1681-1600
(Width)^2=81
Width=9cm
Hence the width of the rectangle is 9 cm.
So
The perimeter of the rectangle = 2 ( Length + Width )
= 2 ( 40 cm + 9 cm )
= 2 x 49 cm
= 98 cm
Hence the perimeter of the rectangle is 98cm
hope this would help u
Step-by-step explanation:
the diagonal of rectangle is 41cm
the lenght of the rectangle is 40cm
√41^2-40^2=√81= 9= height
the perimeter of the rectangle = 2(h+l)
2(9+40)
2(49)
98cm
