To find the diagonal of a rectangle, you can use the Pythagorean theorem, which states that the square of the hypotenuse (diagonal) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. In this case, the diagonal (d) is the hypotenuse, and the length (l) and width (w) are the other two sides. So, d^2 = l^2 + w^2. Plugging in the values, we get d^2 = 6^2 + 8^2 = 36 + 64 = 100. Therefore, the diagonal is the square root of 100, which is 10.

The diagonal = the square root of (6 squared + 8 squared)

6 squared+8squared = 100

the square root of 100 = 10

so the length of the diagonal is 10.

The above used Pythagoras' theorem which says the square on the diagonal is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides.
