Rectangular stage. one side of a rectangular stage is 2 meters longer than the other.If the diagnal is 10 meters,then what are the lengths of the sides
----------------
The diagonal is the hypotenuse of a right triangle.
The sides are s and (s+2)
Using the Pythagorean Theorem?
(((s+8)*(s-6) = 0
s = -8, s = 6
Ignore the -8
---------
s = 6
The sides are 6 meters and 8 meters
