1 side of a rectangle is 2 meters longer than other. The diagonal is 10 m. What are lengths on the side?? ?

Question

Thanx everyone again!!

Answer 1

sides are 6 meters and 8 meters

Answer 2

6x8

Your Diagonal = 10m

10x10 = 100

6x6 = 36

8x8 = 64

         +___

          100

Answer 3

You should apply the Pythagorean Theorem to this problem..

Let m = 1 side

Let m+2 = the side w/ 2 m. longer

so set up your equation like this:

(m^2)+(m+2)^2= 100

(which 100 - sq root =10m)

You should be able to get your answer that way... (which is 6 and 8 m respectively. oops did it too fast) Good luck!
