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

Jay Spring pays $350.00 annually for his health insurance. This is 1/3 of the total cost of the premium; his company pays the re
VashaNatasha [74]
$1,800 (10%) = $180 
jay pays 10% of the expenses beyond the deductible so you multiply the amount beyond the deductible by 10%.
$1,800 - $180 = $1,620 
or
$1,800 (90%) = $1,620
you subtract what jay pays from the total or you multiply the total by 90%

jay pays $180 of the expenses past the deductible (not including his $200 deductible) and his insurance company pays $1,620.
