Explanation:

So it tells you that AB = 21 and AD = 28
and you to find what BD + AC is and since BD is the same length as AC
you only need to find one of them, then double it
There is a formula you use called the Pythagorean theorem
The Pythagorean theorem is A²+B²=C²
In this problem A = 21 B = 28 and C = the length of BD
so it'll look like 21²+28²=Length of BD² or BD²=21²+28² now you find BD
first do 21²+28² --> 441+784 --> 1225 Now you know that 21²+28²=1225
so BD²=1225 Then to find BD, you find √1225(square root of 1225)
Which is 35 So BD=35 and you want to know what BD+AC is
so 35+35=70

Answer:

in a rectangle, opposite sides are equal in length

Explanation:

now in this question, Pythagoras theorem is being used to find the length

we know both sides by using Pythagoras theorem find third side and get the sum to find ac+bd
