Question

If the measures of a diagonal and area of a rectangle are 25cm and 168 cm what is the length of the rectangle

Answer 1

Answer:

sides of rectangle are 7 and 24

Step-by-step explanation:

let sides of rectangle as a and b

now, we know that, length of diagonal acc' to pythagoras theorem is

√(a² + b²)

i.e. = 25

√a² + b² = 25 ⇒  a² + b² = 625           .......(1)

Area of rectangle = ab = 168

solving this we get sides of rectangle as 7 and 24
