a rectangle is drawn so the width is 49 inches longer than the height. if the rectangle's diagonal measurement is 61 inches, find the height.

Respuesta :

Refer to the attachment for figure:

The height of the rectangle = 11 inches

What is rectangle?

A rectangle is a type of quadrilateral with parallel sides equal to each other and four equal 90-degree vertices. Because of this, it is also known as an equiangular quadrilateral. Because the opposite sides of a rectangle are equal and parallel, it can also be referred to as a parallelogram.

Let x= height

Width becomes x+49

Diagonal BD=61 inches

By pythagoras theorem,

BD²=BC²+CD²

61²= (x+49)²+x²

3721=x²+98x+2401+x²

On simplification,

x²+49x-660=0

Find the factors

(x+60)(x-11)=0

x=-60, x=11

Consider positive value for height

height = 11 inches
