Question 449999: The width of a rectangle is 5 feet, and the diagonal is 8 feet. Which is the area of the rectangle? (Round to nearest hundredth.) Answer by rwm(914) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! a^2+b^2=c^2
5^2+b^2=8^2
25+b^2=64
b^2=64-25
b^2=39
6^2=36
7^2=49
so it is between 6 and 7
b=6.245
area is 5*6.245=31.22 ft^2
