Step-by-step solution
3 stepsQuestion 3.3:
In rectangle ABCD, and . Find the length of AC and BD in terms of .
Identify the properties of a rectangle.
In a rectangle, all angles are . Therefore, is a right-angled triangle with the right angle at B. The diagonals of a rectangle are also equal in length, so .
Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of diagonal AC.
In :
Substitute the given values and :
Take the square root of both sides:
Determine the length of diagonal BD.
Since the diagonals of a rectangle are equal in length:
The length of AC is and the length of BD is .
