Question
The area of a rectangle of length 21 cm and diagonal 29 cm is __________
Options
609 cm2
580 cm2
420 cm2
210 cm2

Solution
420 cm2
Explanation;
Hint:
length = 21 cm
diagonal = 29 cm
By the converse of Pythagoras theorem,
AB2 + BC2 = AC2
212 + x2 = 292
x2 = 841 – 441
400 = 202
x = 20 cm
Now area of the rectangle = length × breadth.
i.e AB × BC
= 21 cm × 20 cm
= 420 cm2

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.
