Solution
`square`ABCD is a rectangle
`l(AB) = 35 cm`
`l(BC) = 12 cm`
Let AC be the diagonal of rectangle
as ∠A = ∠B = ∠C = ∠D = 90°
∴ In `triangle`ABC, as ∠B = 90°
∴ By using Pythagoras theorem.
`AC^2 = AB^2 + BC^2`
`AC^2 = 35^2 + 12^2`
`AC^2 = 1225 + 144`
`AC^2 =1369`
`AC =37cm`
∴ The diagonal of the rectangle is 37 cm.

Nazima is fly fishing in a stream. The tip of her fishing rod is 1.8 m above the surface of the water and the fly at the end of the string rests on the water 3.6 m away and 2.4 m from a point directly under the tip of the rod. Assuming that her string (from the tip of her rod to the fly) is taut, how much string does she have out (see Figure)?
