The base is 24 cm x 18 cm.
By Pythagoras, the diagonal of the base is sqrt(242 + 182) = sqrt(576 + 324)
= sqrt(900) = 30 cm

How do you find the width and length of a rectangle if you only know the diagnol?
If the only known fact is the length of the diagonal then the width and length of the rectangle CANNOT be determined. The diagonal could be that of a square, or of a rectangle that is very long but quite narrow. Consequently at least one more fact is required such as; the dimension of either the length or the width, or the angle that the diagonal makes to the base of the rectangle or even the area of the rectangle.
What is the area of a rectangle if the length is 9 centimeters and the height is 10 centimeters?
area of rectangle = base x height = 9 x 10 = 90 square cms
Can you find the area of a rectangle if the problem doesn't show you the base and height?
The one alternative to find the area of a rectangle is when you are given the length of one diagonal and its slope.
If the base is 12.5 and the height is 5 what is the area?
If you mean a rectangle, just multiply the length times the height. If (for example) length and height are in centimeters, then the area is in square centimeters. Similar for other units.
What is length on a rectangle?
length is base and height is width

What is the length of one diagonal if the base a measure 16 and the base b is 24 and has the area of 40 and a ratio of 2 is to 3?
If it's a rectangle and you know its length and height then use Pythagoras' theorem to find the length of its diagonal
What is the area of a rectangle if the length is 9 centimeters and the height is 10 centimeters?
area of rectangle = base x height = 9 x 10 = 90 square cms

What is length on a rectangle?
length is base and height is width
Why does a triangle have a base and rectangle have length?
The base is 2.5ft.
What is the base of a rectangle?
there is no base for a rectangle. only triangles do. to know the sides of the rectangle you need to know the length and width of it
What is the area of a 2 centimeters by 6 centimeters rectangle?
the formula for the area of a rectangle is base*width. plug in 2 for the base and 6 for the width. 2*6=12 the answer is 12cm
Why is the area of a rectangle base times height?
A rectangle is a good, simple shape to begin with. The area of a rectangle is equal to the product of the length of its base and the length of its height. The height is a segment that is perpendicular to the base. For a rectangle, the base and height are often called the "length" and the "width", and sometimes the height is referred to as the "altitude."
A rectangle and triangle have equal areas the length of the rectangle is 12 in and its width is 8 in if the base of the triangle is 32 in what is the length in inches of the altitude drawn to the base?
A rectangle and a triangle have equal areas. The length of the rectangle is 12 inches, and its width is 8 inches. If the base of the triangle is 32 inches, what is the length, in inches, of the altitude drawn to the base?
How do you calculate the area of the base in a rectangle?
The base of a rectangle is a length and does not have any area. Therefore, the area can not be calculated.
