Mathematics Question and Solution
Calculating area of the rectangle.
a² = 5²+2²
a = √(29) units.
a is the width of the rectangle.
b = 2+6
b = 8 units.
Observing similar plane shape (right-angled) side length ratios to get c, length of the rectangle.
5 - c
√(29) - 8
Cross Multiply.
√(29)c = 40
c = 40/√(29) units.
c = (40√(29))/29 units.
Again, c is the length of the rectangle.
Area rectangle is;
ac
= √(29)*(40/√(29))
= 40 square units.
