Question 21

The length of the diagonal and the breadth of a rectangle is 13 cm and 5 cm respectively. Calculate its area (in $$cm^2$$).

Solution

Let the length of rectangle = $$l$$ cm and breadth, $$b=5$$ cm

=> Diagonal, $$d^2=l^2+b^2$$

=> $$l^2=(13)^2-(5)^2$$

=> $$l^2=169-25=144$$

=> $$l=\sqrt{144}=12$$ cm

$$\therefore$$ Area = $$12\times5=60$$ $$cm^2$$

=> Ans - (A)
