1) Diagonals of a rectangle bisect each other, so AW=13.

2) Since diagonals of a rectangle are congruent, AC=BD. Then, since diagonals of a rectangle bisect each other, DW=13.

3) Diagonals of a rectangle are congruent, so BD=26.

4) Opposite sides of a rectangle are congruent, so AD=10.

5) Using the Pythagorean theorem, BA=24.
