#1 15cm^2. ====> Good Luck! <====
Let y = the distance between the top left corner and the bottom right corner
y^2 = 24^2 + 15^2
y^2 = 801
y = 3 * sqrt(89)
Now we can find x.
12^2 + x^2 = (3 * sqrt(89))^2
x^2 = 657
x = 3 * sqrt(73) or 25.63
Answer:
Part a) Exactly values
The width of the rectangle is 
The length of the rectangle is 
Part b) Approximately values
The width of the rectangle is 
The length of the rectangle is 
Step-by-step explanation:
see the attached figure to better understand the problem
we know that
The area of rectangle is equal to

we have

substitute the values in the formula



so

Solve for x
Divide by 4 both sides

square root both sides

The solution is the positive value

therefore
<em>Exactly values</em>

<em>Approximately values</em>

Add all numbers and divide the total by how many numbers there are
