Answer:

The length of the rectangle is

12

c

m

and the area of the rectangle is

60

c

m

2

.

Explanation:

By definition, the angles of a rectangle are right. Therefore, drawing a diagonal creates two congruent right triangles. The diagonal of the rectangle is the hypotenuse of the right triangle. The sides of the rectangle are the legs of the right triangle. We can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the unknown side of the right triangle, which is also the unknown length of the rectangle.

Recall that the Pythagorean Theorem states that the sun of the squares of the legs of a right triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.

Since the length of the side is a measured distance, the negative root is not a reasonable result. So the length of the rectangle is

12

cm.

The area of a rectangle is given by multiplying the width by the length.

Answer:

{5}^{2}  +  {x}^{2}  =  {13}^{2} \\ 25 +  {x}^{2}   = 169 \\  {x}^{2}  = 169 - 25 \\  {x}^{2}  = 144 \\ x =  \sqrt{144}  \\ x = 12cm

Step-by-step explanation:

use the Pythagorean theorem

The logo for Chris's Calculator Company is 3 semicircles. The logo will be placed on the company building and will be 4 feet tal
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

The area of the logo is 18.84\ ft^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

The area of a semicircle is equal to

A=\frac{1}{2}\pi r^{2}

so

The area of the logo is equal to multiply by 3 the area of one semicircle

A=\frac{3}{2}\pi r^{2}

we have

r=4/2=2\ ft -----> the radius is half the diameter

substitute

A=\frac{3}{2}(3.14)(2)^{2}=18.84\ ft^{2}
