Solution


Let PQRS be the given rectangle.

In ∆PQR,

∠Q = 90°   ...[Angle of a rectangle]

∴ PR2 = PQ2 + QR2    ...[Pythagoras theorem]

= 122 + 352

= 144 + 1225

= 1369

∴ PR = `sqrt(1369)`   ...[Taking square root of both sides]

= 37 m

∴ The length of the diagonal of the given rectangle is 37 m.

In ∆LMN, l = 5, m = 13, n = 12 then complete the activity to show that whether the given triangle is right angled triangle or not.

*(l, m, n are opposite sides of ∠L, ∠M, ∠N respectively)

Activity: In ∆LMN, l = 5, m = 13, n = `square`

∴ l2 = `square`, m2 = 169, n2 = 144.

∴ l2 + n2 = 25 + 144 = `square`

∴ `square` + l2 = m2

∴ By Converse of Pythagoras theorem, ∆LMN is right angled triangle.
