A diagonal of a rectangle forms a right triangle with its sides.
\n" ); document.write( "L=d-13
\n" ); document.write( "w=d-6
\n" ); document.write( "L^2+w^2=d^2
\n" ); document.write( "approximate answers
\n" ); document.write( "d=31.49, L=18.49, w=25.49\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Your solution.
\n" ); document.write( "55^2+48^2=73^2
\n" ); document.write( "The sides are 55 and 48 and the diagonal is 73.
\n" ); document.write( "Those dimensions do indeed form a right triangle but they meet none of the criteria for the given rectangle and diagonal.
\n" ); document.write( "The length 55 is not 13 feet shorter than the diagonal 73.
\n" ); document.write( "The width 48 is not 6 feet shorter than the diagonal 73.
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
