If a rectangle measures 20 meters by 48 meters, what is the length of the diagonal of the rectangle?
Answer (3)
The diagonal of a rectangle with lengths of 20 meters and 48 meters measures approximately 52 meters, calculated using the Pythagorean theorem. ;

The diagonal of the rectangle measuring 20 meters by 48 meters is calculated using the Pythagorean theorem. The length of the diagonal is 52 meters. This is found by applying the formula D = w 2 + l 2 .
