Question

the length of a rectangular rug is 18 feet and the length of the diagonal is 22 feet. What is the area of rug to the nearest foot?

Answer 1

Answer:

If one side of a rectangular rug measures 3 feet then its opposite side must also measure 3 feet. Together these two sides measure 6 feet. If you deduct 6 feet from 22 feet then the remaining two sides must measure 16 feet, this means that they are each 8 feet long. A rectangle with sides of 3 feet x 8 feet has an area of 24 square feet.
