By splitting the rectangle into half diagonally, we obtain two right triangles with sides 40 and 60. Using Pythagorean theorem, we obtain approximately 72.11 as the hypotenuse of both of them.

To find the diagonal measurement of a rectangle, you can use the Pythagorean theorem, which states that the square of the hypotenuse (the diagonal) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. In this case, the diagonal measurement of a 40' x 50' rectangle can be calculated as follows: diagonal = √(40^2 + 50^2) = √(1600 + 2500) = √4100 ≈ 64.03 feet.
a swimming pool is 60 ft x 170 ft x 40 ft x 150 ft; what is the distance to swim across the pool from one corner to the other corner?
Let the length be 4x and the width be x: 2(4x+x) = 60 8x+2x = 60 10x = 60 x = 6 So: length = 24 and width = 6 Area = length*width Area = 144 square inches
let x=length of rectangle let y=width of rectangle x=y+5 2x+2y=40 2(y+5)+2y=40 2y+10+2y=40 4y+10=40 4y=30 4y=7.5 x=7.5+5 x=12.5 AREA: 12.5 x 7.5 = 93.75 YARDS
First find the dimensions of the rectangle. Let its length be 2x and its width be x: 2(2x+x) = 60 4x+2x = 60 6x = 60 x = 10 Therefore: length = 20cm and the width = 10cm Area = length*width Area = 200cm2
