The ratio of length and breadth of a rectangular field is 15 : 8, and its perimeter is 46 m. What is the length of its diagonal?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
Length : Breadth = 15 : 8
Perimeter = 2 (l + b) = 2 (23x) = 46
⇒ x = 1
Therefore, sides of rectangle = 15m & 8m
Now,
⇒ Length of diagonal of the rectangle = \(\sqrt {l^2 + b^2}\)
= \(\sqrt {225 + 64}\)
= \(\sqrt {289}\)
= 17 m
