Question

In a rectangle ABCD, E is the mid point of AD. If AD = 40m and AB=48m find EB​

Answer 1

Answer:

e is the mid point of ad.

ad= 40 cm

ab = 48 cm

eb= ad/2

=40/2

=20

Answer 2

Answer

A rectangle has all its angles = 90°

Thus, /_A = 90°

Now, E is midpoint of AD. Therefore;

AE = 1/2 × AD

AE = 1/2 × 40

AE = 20 cm

AB = 48 cm (Given)

By applying the Pythagoras Theorem in Triangle AEB:

$\tt{AE^2 + AB^2 = EB^2}$

=> $\tt{20^2 + 48^2 = EB^2}$

=> $\tt{400 + 2304 = EB^2}$

=> EB = 52 cm
