Algebra.Com's Answer #287306 by graphmatics(170) You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let x = The Length of the Rectangle. Given the Width then \n" ); document.write( "the equation relating Length, Width and Diagonal is \n" ); document.write( " Width^2 + Length^2 = Diagonal^2 \n" ); document.write( " 21^2 + x^2 = 34^2 \n" ); document.write( " x^2 = 34^2 - 21^2 \n" ); document.write( " x^2 = 1156 - 441 \n" ); document.write( " x^2 = 715 \n" ); document.write( " x = 715^(1/2) \n" ); document.write( " x = 26.7394 \n" ); document.write( " The Length of the Rectangle = 26.7394 \n" ); document.write( " |
