Find the diagonal of a rectangle whose length is 15 m and breadth is 8 m
2 points
(a) 15 m
(b) 17 sq m
(c) 19 sq m
(d) 17 m
​

Answer 1

Answer:

D is the right answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean Theorem.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

When you put a diagonal line from a corner of a rectangle to another, you make two right triangles.

Then,

8^2 + 15^2 = c^2

64 + 225 = c^2

289 = c^2

Get the square root of 289 to eliminate the ^2 on c, you’ll get 17.

Hope this helps.
