Question

how do you find the length of a rectangle if the diagonal is 10 inches long and the width is 8 inches

Answer 1

Explanation:

Use pythagorean theorem (a^2+b^2=c^2). The diagonal represents c and the width represents b or a. 8^2+b^2=10^2->64+b^2=100->b^2=36->b=6. So your height would be 6.
