Question

The width of a rectangle is 6 feet, and the diagonal is 10 feet. What is the area of the rectangle?
a-30 sq ft
b- 24 sq ft
c- 80 sq ft
d- 48 sq ft

Answer 1

the short side of the rectangle, the diagonal, and the long side of the rectangle form a triangle. the short side of that triangle is 6, the hypotenuse is 10, and you use the pythagorean theorem to solve for the other side

Answer 2

then when you have the width and length of the rectangle multiply them together to find the area

Answer 3
