Question 175296This question is from textbook Geometry Connections
: How do you find the area and width of a rectangle from diagonal and one side length?
This is exactly how the problem is stated in my book:
A rectangle has one side length of 11 mm and a diagonal of 61 mm. Draw a diagram of this rectangle (which I've done) and its width and area. This question is from textbook Geometry Connections
You can put this solution on YOUR website! A rectangle is composed of 4 right angles. With the diagonal you have created two triangles and better yet 2 right triangles. You would then use the pythagorean therom a^2+b^2=c^2
you already have the value for c=61 and a=11 all you have to do is plug in the numbers
121 +b^2=3721
subract 121 from both sides
b^2=3600
b=60
Let us doublecheck
121+3600=3721
