Question

A construction worker needs to put a rectangular window in the side of a building he knows from measuring that the top and bottom of the window have a Width of 8bfeet and the sides have a length of 15 feet he also measured one diagonal to be 17 feet what is the length of the other diagonal

Answer 1

Answer:

length of other diagonal is 17 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given,

Length of rectangular window = 15 feet

Width of rectangular window = 8 feet

Diagonal length = 17 feet

We can also apply Pythagoras theorem to check if it is a diagonal of rectangle or not

i.e 17² = 15² + 8²

or 289 = 225 + 64

or 289 = 289

Hence given diagonal length is the diagonal length of rectangular window.

Diagonals joining opposite vertex of rectangle are equal.

.Since the length of one diagonal is 17 feet.

Therefore length of other diagonal will be 17 feet as well.
