Question

The diagonal of a rectangular field is 9 m more than the shorter side If the difference between the longer and shorter side is 1 m, find the sides of the field.

Answer 1

the shorter side of the rectangular field be 'x' meters. Therefore the longer side will be (x + 30) meters. And the length of the diagonal will be (x + 60) meters. ... So the length of the shorter side is 90 meters and the length of the longer side is 90 + 30 = 120 meters.
