Question

A rectangle measures 3cm by 4cm.What is the length of its diagonal ?

Answer 1

Answer:

5cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Length= 3cm

Width= 4cm

Applying Pythagoras theorem

z^2= x^2+y^2

z^2= 3^2+ 4^2

z^2= 9+16

z^2= 25

square root both sides

z= √25

z= 5cm

Hence the diagonal is  5cm
