Question

The width of a rectangle is 4 feet, and the diagonal length of the rectangle is 13 feet.
Which measurement is closest to the length of this rectangle in feet

Answer 1

Answer:

76779765535789985577889

Answer 2

Answer:

This is the application of Pythagoras theorem.

The diagonal of the rectangle is the hypotenuse , to find the length , we will apply Pythagoras theorem , which states that :

the square of the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle equals the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides.That is

hypotenuse² = opposite² + Adjacent²

Let the length of the rectangle be x, so we have :

13²=x²+4²

which means that

x² = 13² - 4²=132−42

x² = 169 - 16

x² = 153

x = 12.369

x ≈ 12.4 feet ans.

Thanks for the question.....
