Arectangle has a width of 9 units and a length of 40 units. what is the length of a diagonal

41 units

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, you should remember that the diagonal  drawn will represent the longest side of the triangle that will be formed .This is to say the triangle will have the two shorter sides (the length and width) and the longest side (diagonal).

Apply the Pythagorean relationship where

The formula to apply here will be

Diagonal = 41 units

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,a rectangle has a width of 9 units and a length of 40 units.

To find the diagonal of rectangle

We know that rectangle can be considered as combination of two right triangles.

Here length of right triangle = 40 units and height = 9 units

Hypotenuse = diagonal of rectangle.

Hypotenuse² = Length² + height

 = 40² + 9²

 = 1600 + 81

 = 1681

Hypotenuse = √1681 = 41

Therefore diagonal of rectangle = 41 units

step-by-step explanation:

if you want to solve percent error follow these steps.

1. subtract the accepted value from the experimental value.

2. take the absolute value of step 1.

3. divide that answer by the accepted value.

4. multiply that answer by 100 and add the % symbol to express the answer as a percentage.

if you want to solve percent of change just do this.

1. work out the difference (increase) between the two numbers you are comparing.

2. divide the increase by the original number and multiply the answer by 100. if your answer is a negative number then this is a percentage decrease.

hope this : )
