Question

position?
15. Find the length of diagonal of the rectangle whose sides are 16 cm and 12 cm.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

So from the problem we get that the two sides of the rctangle are 16 cm 12 cm which are base perpendicular of the right angle triangle. H = 20 cm. So the diagonal of the rectangle = 20 cm

Answer 2

In a rectangle all of its angles are right angle triangle, since a diagonal divides the rectangle in two equal halves and it contains a right angle, the traingle formed is a right angle triangle.

We also know that in aright angle triangle (Base)2 + (Perpendicular)2 = (Hypotenues)2=B2 + P2 = H2

So from the problem we get that the two sides of the rctangle are 16 cm 12 cm which are base perpendicular of the right angle triangle.

B2+ P2= H2

(16)2 + (12)2 = H2

H2 = 256 + 144

H2 = 400

H =√400

H = 20 cm.

So the diagonal of the rectangle = 20 cm.

Ans: 20 cm...
