whose length Find the perimeter of the rectangle is 40cm and length of one diagonal is 41 is 41 cm.
Answers
Answer: As we know the opposite sides of a rectangle are equal.
If AB = 40 cm that means the side opposite to AB i.e. CD will also be 40 cm.
Now, one of the diagonals of a rectangle is given AC = 41 cm which divides the rectangle into two right-angled triangles.
Now, we can apply the Pythagoras theorem and find the third side that is the breadth of the rectangle.
Let the breadth of the rectangle be AD = x.
Now, in triangle ADC, by Pythagoras theorem (Hypotenuse)2 = (Perpendicular)2 + (Base)2
(AC)2 = (DC)2 + (AD)2
(41)2 = (40)2 + (x)2
1681 = 1600 +(x)2
1681 – 1600 = (x)2
x2 = 81
x = 9 cm
Therefore, breadth of the rectangle = 9 cm
As we know that Perimeter of rectangle = 2(l + b)
= 2(40 + 9)
= 2(49)
= 98 cm
