Answer:

AC = 5

Explanation:

AC is the diagonal of the rectangle ABCD and splits the rectangle into 2 right triangles.

Using right triangle ABC with hypotenuse AC

Applying Pythagoras' theorem gives

AC² = AB² + BC² ← substitute given values

AC² = 4² + 3² = 16 + 9 = 25

Take the square root of both sides

AC =
√(25) = 5
