Question

© ABCD is a rectangle with sides 6 cm and

8 cm. If its diagonals cross at X, the length
of AX is​

Answer 1

10

Explanation:

If the sides of the rectangle is 6cm and 8cm, then we mean that, the length and breadth are 6cm and 8cm

The diagonal which cross at AX will be the hypotenus of the triangle formed by drawing the diagonal.

Hence,

Hypotenus = sqrt (opposite² + adjacent²)

AX = sqrt[(8²) + (6²)]

AX = sqrt(64 + 36)

AX = sqrt(100)

AX = 10
