Question:

The diagonal of a rectangle is 20 cm. If its breadth is 12 cm, then what will be its length?

Options:

15 cm

16 cm

18 cm

17 cm

Correct Answer:

16 cm

Explanation:

We know that,

(Diagonal)2 = (Length)2 + (Breadth)2

We have,

Diagonal = 20 cm

Breadth = 12 cm

According to the formula,

202 = length2 + 122

= length2 = 400 - 144 = 256

= length = 16 cm
