Answer 1

Answer:

• height 10
• area 240

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagonal is the hypotenuse of the right triangle whose sides are the sides of the rectangle. The Pythagorean theorem applies.

  height² + base² = diagonal²

  height² +24² = 26²

  height² = 676 -576 = 100

  height = √100 = 10

__

The area is the product of the base and height.

  A = bh

  A = (24)(10) = 240

The height is 10 units; the area is 240 square units.
