Find the length of diagonal of a rectangle whose sides are 12cm and 5cm.
Dear Sanvy,
Consider a Rectangle with sides ABCD
It has diagonals AC and AD
We have AB=12cm
BC=5cmBC=5cm
Find AC
We know that by Pythagoras theorem
AC2=AB2+BC2
=122+5
=144+25
=169
AC=169−−−
√AC=169
=13
Hence the length of the diagonal is 13cm13cm
Answer: 13 cm
