calculate the length of the diagonal of a rectangle whose sides are 8cm and 6cm
think 3-4-5 triangle
find the lenght of the rectangle whose breadth is 8 cm and diagonal is 12 cm
To calculate the length of the diagonal of a rectangle, you can use the Pythagorean theorem.
The Pythagorean theorem states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the longest side) is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides.
In this case, the two sides of the rectangle are 8cm and 6cm. Let's assume the diagonal as 'd'.
According to the Pythagorean theorem:
d² = 8² + 6²
To simplify the equation:
d² = 64 + 36
d² = 100
To find 'd', we can take the square root of both sides:
d = √100
d = 10cm
Therefore, the length of the diagonal of the rectangle is 10cm.
