Question

the width of a rectangle is 5 inches , and the diagonal length of the rectangle is 25 inches.which measurement is closest to the length of this rectangle in inches ?

Answer 1

Explanation:

We need to use Pythagoras Theorem for this. You also didn't add the answed options for me to see which one is the closest but I guess you can compare it yourself with the final answer.

Length² = 25²-5² = 625-25 = 600

Length = root 600 = 10 root 6 = 24.4948 = 24.5
