Lesson 1 |
Problem: Find the Area of the rectangle:
EW = 12
ER = 16
Solution
Area of rectangle is Length x Width
Step 1:
Solution Here, length = 12
Step 2:
Solution Width is found by using Pythagorean
Theorem:
Step 3: ER²
= EQ² + QR²
Solution Substituting the given values in the above equation,
Step 4:
Solution 16²
= 12² + RQ²;
RQ = 10.58
Step 5:
Solution Area = 10.58 x 12 = 126.96
Step 6:
Solution Answer: 126.96
