Dimensions of the rectangle are w and 10w. The diagonal forms two congruent triangles, each a right triangle.\r

\n" ); document.write( " $\"d=sqrt%28w%5E2%2B100w%5E2%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"d=w%2Asqrt%281%2B100%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28d=w%2Asqrt%28101%29%29\"$ \n" ); document.write( "
