find the length of the diagonal of (a) a square in terms of its edges a,(b) a rectangle interms of its base b and its altitude h


Sagot :

a.)  Diagonal of square in terms of its edge "a":
  Diagonal of square = [tex] \sqrt{a^{2} +a^{2} } [/tex]

                                 = [tex] \sqrt{2a ^{2} } [/tex]

                                 = [tex]a \sqrt{2} [/tex]

b.)  Diagonal of rectangle in terms of its base "b" and height "h":

Diagonal of rectangle = [tex] \sqrt{b ^{2} +h ^{2} } [/tex]
