Question

The diagonal of a rectangle is 34 cm. If its breadth is 16 cm; find its length in cm

Open in App
Solution

Let the length of the rectangle =l cm
The diagonal of a rectangle divides it into two equal right
angled triangles. Hence, diagonal forms the hypotenuse of a right angled
triangle, with the other two sides being the length and breadth of the
rectangle.
Hence, diagonal =l2+162=34cm

=>l2+256=1156

=>l=1156256=900=30cm
