13 yd

5 yd

Answer 1

The length of rectangular areas of local elementary school is 12 yards.

Rectangle:

A rectangle is a closed 2-D shape, having 4 sides, 4 corners, and 4 right angles (90°). The opposite sides of a rectangle are equal and parallel.

Here we have to find the length of a rectangle.

Data given:

Width = 5 cm

diagonal = 13cm

Formula to find diagonal of rectangle:

Diagonal² = length² + width²

13² = length² + 5²

length² = 13² - 5²

           = 169 - 25

           = 144

length = 12 yards

Therefore the length is 12 yards.
