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.
