Answer 1

Answer:

diagonal of a rectangle is 25cm

Step-by-step explanation:

In a rectangle, one diagonal divides the fig in two equal right angled triangle.

The length of both diagonals of rectangle is same.

using the one right angled triangle

(diagonal)² = (one side of rectangle)² + (other side of rectangle)²

                  =      (7)²   +   (24)²

                  =     49    +    576

(diagonal)² =       625      =       (25)²

diagonal =         25cm
