Question 245872: what is the length of a diagonal of a rectangle if the length of the rectangle is 24 cm and its width is 10 cm. Answer by marcsam823(57) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The length, width and diagonal of the rectangle form a right triangle. The diagonal is the hypotenuse (longest side of the triangle). Use the Pythagorean Theorem:
Let a = 24
Let b = 10
Let c = diagonal
The diagonal is 26 cm.
