<span>Elizabeth was highly intelligent. She had the knowledge of a scholar and was one of the smartest women of her time. She had a fiery temper and you didn't want to get in her way when she was angry. She was very intuitive. When Elizabeth became frightened, she often said she was sick and took to her bed so people wouldn't see her as weak. She was a charmer and had many male admirers. She was vain and as she got older she had the mirrors in the palace taken down because she didn't want to see herself grow old.</span>
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
