A rectangle is twice as long as it is wide and has a diagonal of length 25 cm. what are its dimensions
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Apply Pythagorean theorem:
\n" ); document.write( "Let w = width
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "2w = length
\n" ); document.write( ".\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "w^2 + (2w)^2 = 25^2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "w^2 + 4w^2 = 625
\n" ); document.write( "5w^2 = 625
\n" ); document.write( "w^2 = 105
\n" ); document.write( "w = sqrt(105)
\n" ); document.write( "w = 10.25 cm (width)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "length:
\n" ); document.write( "2w = 2(10.25) = 20.5 cm
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
