Question
A rectangle having dimensions 35 m × 12 m, then what is the length of its diagonal?
Advertisements
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 cm
∴ The length of the diagonal of the given rectangle is 37 cm.

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.
