Answer:
Base of rectangle = 23.25 units (Approx.)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Diagonal of rectangle (Hypotenuse) = 8x
Height of rectangle (Perpendicular) = 2x
Find:
Base of rectangle
Computation:
Base = √Hypotenuse² - Perpendicular²
Base of rectangle = √(8x)² - (2x)²
Base of rectangle = √64x² - 4x²
Base of rectangle = √60x²
Base of rectangle = 7.75x units (Approx.)
If x = 3
Base of rectangle = 7.75x
Base of rectangle = 7.75(3)
Base of rectangle = 23.25 units (Approx.)
