Question

The sides of a rectangle are 14 cm and 25 cm.
Calculate the length of the diagonal.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When you draw the diagonal in the rectangle, it will be split into two triangles. The diagonal will be the hypotenuse of the triangle.

According to the Pythagoras theorem, 25square + 14 square will be equal to the diagonal square.

625+196= 821=diagonal square...

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

By Pythagoras theorem

hypotenuse²= perpendicular ²+ base²

Diagonal ² = 14²+ 25²

Diagonal ²= 196 + 625
