Answer: Area of the rectangle = 102.5 cm² Round to 103 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
The diagonal is the hypotenuse, c So subtract the square on the base (length) to find the altitude (height).
a² + b² = c²
a² + 50² = 51²
a² = 51² - 50²
a² = 2601 -2500
a² = 101 take the square root of both sides
a = √101
a = 10.04987562 Round to 10.05
Area = LW
Area = 50 × 10.05
Area = 102.5 cm² Round to 103 cm²
