Answer:

height = 10 , area = 240 units²

Explanation:

The diagonal splits the rectangle into 2 right triangles.

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle formed

with hypotenuse h = 26 and legs 24 and height x , then

x² = 26² - 24² = 676 - 576 = 100 ( take square root of both sides )

x =
√(100) = 10

Height = 10 units

area of rectangle = 24 × 10 = 240 units²
