Question

The diagonal of a rectangular board is 1 m and its length is 96 cm. Find the area of the board.

Sum

Solution

Length of diagonal (AB) = 96 cm

Diagonal (AC) = 1 m = 100 cm

In right-angled triangle ABC,

By Applying Pythagoras Theorem,

(AC)2 = (AB)2 + (BC)2

= (100)2 = (96)2 + BC2

10000 = 9216 = BC2

10000 − 9216 = BC2

`sqrt784` = BC

∴ BC = 28 cm

Area of the rectangular board

= l × b or AB × BC

= 96 × 28

= 2688 cm2
