Question

the length of a rectangle is 5 cm the perpendicular distance from the intersection of two diagonals on the which is 2 cm find its width

Answer 1

The question is not clear, specially the second half.

Anyways, as per the approximation it means to say, length of the rectangle is 5cm.

And the perpendicular distance from the point of intersection on the length is 2cm i.e. nothing but half the size of the width.

The reason is the point of intersection of duiagonals of a rectangle is mid point of both length and width on respective planes.

Therefore, width = twice the perpendicular distance = 2 x 2cm = 4cm(Ans)

Answer 2

Answer:

The length of segment FE which is perpendicular to breadth BC is 2cm. Here we can use pythagorean theorem to find the half of it's breadth which is BE. When we put the values we'll get the answer as 1.5cm which is the half of the breadth so adding it by itself will give us the answer as 3cm
