Question

The length of the diagonal of a rectangle is 26 cm and that of one side is 10 cm. What is the area of this rectangle?

A) 260 sq cm B) 120 sq cm C) 130 sq cm D) 240 sq cm

Answer 1

Answer:

10 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

If diagonal of a rectangle is 26 cm and one side is 24 cm, find the other side.

Rectangle has all the angles equal to 90°

and opposite sides are equal

& diagonals are also equal

so pythagoras theorem can be applied here

Diagonal² = One side² + other side²

=> 26² = 24² + other side²

=> other side² = 26² - 24²

a² - b² = (a+b)(a-b)

=>other side² = (26 + 24)(26 - 24)

=>other side² = 50 * 2

=>other side² = 100

=> other side = 10 cm

Answer 2

Answer:

may be your answer is C)130 sq cm
