Question

The width of a rectangle is 6 feet, and the diagonal is 10 feet. What is the area of the rectangle

Answer 1

The diagonal breaks up the rectangle into two right triangles each with hypotenuse 10 and one leg at 6

Answer 2

The area of a rectangle is given by length times width. However, you are not giving a height. But you are given the diagonal. From this, you can deduce the height using the Pythagorean identity to solve since the width, height, and diagonal form a right triangle.

Answer 3

Well, the diagonal and the width form a triangle whos area is half the area of the rectangle. Find the area of the triangle, and double it.
