Question

The quadrilateral shown is a rectangle. What is the measure of PR? (round to the nearest hundredth)

Answer 1

Option B) 37.12 is the right answer

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the qudrilateral is a rectangle which means that opposite sides wil be equal and all interior angles will be 90 degrees

So

PS = 17

PQ = SR = 33

The diagonal PR will form a right-angles triangle with PR being the hypotenuse

So,

Base = SR = 33

Perpendicular = PS = 17

Hypotenuse = PR = ?

The Pythagoras theorem will be used to find the length of PR

So,

$H^2 = B^2+P^2\\(PR)^2 = (SR)^2 + (PS)^2\\PR^2 = (33)^2+(17)^2\\PR^2 = 1089+289\\PR^2 = 1378$

Taking square root on both sides

$\sqrt{PR^2} = \sqrt{1378}\\PR = 37.1214$

Rounding off to nearest 100th

PR = 37.12

Hence,

Option B) 37.12 is the right answer
