Question 757698
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


The given side of the rectangle is one leg of a right triangle, the diagonal of the rectangle is the hypotenuse, and the other side of the rectangle, that is the value you want, is the other leg of the triangle.  Use:


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ c^2\ =\ a^2\ +\ b^2]


with our compliments to Mr. Pythagoras, and where *[tex \LARGE c] is the measure of the diagonal of the rectangle and either *[tex \LARGE a] or *[tex \LARGE b] (your choice) is the given measure of the side of the rectangle and either *[tex \LARGE b] or *[tex \LARGE a] is the side you need to determine.  Substitute the given values and solve for the missing one.  Remember to factor the resulting radicand and simplify if possible.
