The Length, breadth and Diagonal of a rectangle form a right-angled triangle with the length and breadth as the perpendicular sides and the diagonal as the hypotenuse.
∴ diagonal² = length² + breadth² (by the Pythagorean theorem)
∴ 20² = 16² + b²
⇒ 20² - 16² = b²
⇒144 = b²
∴ b = √144 cm = 12 cm
Area of rectangle = length × breadth
= (16 × 12)cm²
= 192 cm²
