Question

Find the perimeter of rectangle whose length is 40 and the diagonal is 41 cm
​

Answer 1

P = 98 cm

Explanation:

Given one side and diagonal of rectangle we can use Pythagorean theorem to calculate the other side of it.

`L=40\, cm\\D=41\,cm\\W=\ ?\\\\W^2+L^2=D^2\\\\W^2+40^2=41^2\\\\W^2+1600=1681\\\\W^2=81\\\\W=9`

Perimeter:

P = 2W + 2L = 2•40 + 2•9 = 80 + 18 = 98
