65feet
60feet
70feet
63feet

Answer 1

65 feet

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of a rectangle, L = 60 feet

Breadth of a rectangle, B = 25 feet

We need to find the diagonal length of the stage. We know that for a rectangle each angle is 90 degrees. Let x is the length of the diagonal. So,

`x=√(L^2+B^2) \\\\x=√((60)^2+(25)^2) \\\\x=√(3600+625) \\\\x=65\ \text{feet}`

So, the length of the diagonal is 65 feet. Hence, the correct option is (a).
