Question

If two adjacent sides and a diagonal of a rectangle are x, y and d respectively. The area of the rectangle is ______.

Options

• x × y

• `1/2 xx d^2`

• `1/2 xx x xx d`

• `1/2 xx y xx d`

Answer 1

If two adjacent sides and a diagonal of a rectangle are x, y and d respectively. The area of the rectangle is x × y.

Explanation:

The area of a rectangle is defined as the product of its two adjacent sides (length and breadth). Since the adjacent sides are given as x and y, the area is simply x × y (the diagonal d is extra information not needed for this calculation).
