    The length of the diagonal of a rectangle is 26 cm, and

    one side is 10 cm. The area of the rectangle is:
    A 240 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 260√2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 65√2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 130√2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    According to the given information, Length of diagonal of the rectangle of side length 'a' and 'b' = √(a² + b²) = 26 cm One side length (Let's assume it's 'a') = 10 cm √(10² + b²) = 26 On squaring both sides, we get, 102 + b² = 676   b2 = 676-100  b = √576 = 24 cm  Area of given rectangle = a x b = 10 x 24 = 240 sq cm
