A rectangle measures 18m by 24m. What is the sum of the lengths of its diagonals?
We know that a rectangle diagonals are equal.
So, we need to know D1 + D2, which is 2D.
Information provided:
L = 24
W = 18
By the Pythagorean Theorem:
D^2 = L^2 + W^2
D^2 = 24^2 + 18^2
D^2 = 576 + 324
D^2 = 900
D =
D = 30
Because the problem is asking for the sum of the 2 diagonals, then:
2D = 2*30
The answer is 60.
