what is the dimension of 100 ft diagonal?

10

Is this the diagonals of a square or something and you want the sides?

42 its always 42

2 x^2 = 100^2 ?

x^2 = 5,000
x = 70.7 feet if you want the sides of a square with 100 ft diagonal

To find the dimensions of a rectangle given its diagonal, you can use the Pythagorean theorem which states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (diagonal) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

In this case, the diagonal of the rectangle is 100 ft.

Let's assume the length of the rectangle is 'L' and the width is 'W'.

Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can write:

L^2 + W^2 = diagonal^2

L^2 + W^2 = 100^2

Simplifying further:

L^2 + W^2 = 10000

Now, this equation alone cannot determine the exact values of both L and W. However, we can make some assumptions based on common sense. Typically, a rectangle's length is greater than its width. Hence, we can assume that L is the longer side.

We can make an educated guess that L = 100 ft and W = 0 ft.

If we substitute these values into our equation, we get:

(100)^2 + (0)^2 = 10000

10000 + 0 = 10000

Yes, indeed, the equation holds true if L = 100 ft and W = 0 ft. However, this rectangle would be degenerate, as it would actually be a line segment.

Therefore, for a non-degenerate rectangle with a diagonal of 100 ft, we would need additional information or constraints to determine a reasonable value for L and W.
