Use Pythagoras's theorem -- c2=a2+b2, where a and b are sides of a rectangle, and c is the diagonal.

Here, a = 5 [cm] and b = 10 [cm]

So, c = sqrt (52 + 102) = 11.18 [cm] (<-- the negative root can be ignored)

How do you work out the diagonal line in a rectangle size 50cm x 50cm?

Arthur Pythagoras: Diagonal = sqrt (square of side 1 + square of side 2) In your case D = sqrt (2 x 2500) = 70.71cm Addendum: If it is a square, as is your case, multiply the length of one side by the square root of 2: 1.4142 * 50.00 cm = 70.71 cm. (Arthur?)


Suppose you drew a diagonal in each of the following quadrilaterals rectangles trapezoid parallelogram. In which figures do triangles with a different size and shape form?

When you draw a diagonal in a rectangle or a parallelogram, it divides the shape into two congruent triangles, meaning both triangles are the same size and shape. In contrast, drawing a diagonal in a trapezoid results in two triangles that can differ in size and shape, as the bases of the trapezoid are unequal. Thus, different size and shape triangles form only in the trapezoid.
