Question

A rectangle has a length of 28 inches and a diagonal that measures 35 inches. What is the area, in square inches, of the rectangle?

Answer 1

588 in²

Explanation:

length: 28 inches

height: a

hypotenuse: 35 inches

Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²

a² + 28² = 35²

a² + 784 = 1225

a² = 441

a =
`√(441)`

a = 21 inches

Area of rectangle: Length x Width

28 x 21 = 588 in²

Answer 2

28x35=980

Explanation:

area of the rectangle= base (28) by height (35)
