The foundation cannot be a rectangle: (24 + 32) squared not-equals 40 squared. The foundation cannot be a rectangle: StartRoot 24 squared + 23 squared EndRoot not-equals 40 squared.

Answer:

The foundation may be a rectangle: 24 squared + 32 squared = 40 squared.

Explanation:

A rectangle is a quadrilateral (that is it has four sides). The opposite sides of a rectangle are parallel to each other. Also the opposite sides are equal to each other. The four angles of a rectangle are equal to each other and measure 90° each.

The diagonals of a rectangle bisect each other. The relationship between the length, width and diagonal of a rectangle is given by:

Diagonal² = length² + width²

Given that length = 24 feet, width = 32 feet, diagonal = 40 feet, we prove that it is rectangle using:

Diagonal² = 24² + 32²

Diagonal² = 1600

Diagonal² = 40²

Hence: 40² = 24² + 32²

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]
To establish an effective argument, it's important to eliminate emotions.

Pointing fingers, creating issues, and demonstrating power will likely take credit away from your argument, as these techniques are all largely intimidation tactics. On the other hand, by eliminating emotions, you can focus on the facts of the argument, which will establish more credibility.
