Question

ABCD is a rectangle. What is the value of x? rectangle with length 45 feet, width x feet, and diagonal 53 feet 28 feet 45 feet 53 feet 98 feet

Answer 1

I'm assuming the diagonal is 53 feet...

Use Pythagorean Theorem

$A = \sqrt{ C^{2} - B^{2} } A = \sqrt{53^{2} - 45^{2} } A = \sqrt{2809 - 2025} A = \sqrt{784} A = 28$

Therefore the width is 28 feet
