Let 
be the length of the rectangle and 
be the width. In the problem it is given that 
. It is also given that the area 
. Substituting in the length in terms of width, we have 
. Using the zero product property, 
. Solving these we get the width 
. However, it doesn't make sense for the width to be negative, so the width must be 
. From that we can tell the length 
.
Answer:
given - a rectangle ABCD
AB = 40
AC. = 90
BC = ?
in triangle ABC
using Pythagoras theorem
(AB) ² + (BC) ² = (AC) ²
(40)² + (BC) ² = (90)²
(BC) ² = (90)²- (40)²
(BC) ² = 8100 - 1600
(BC) ² = 6500
BC =
