Pythagorean theorem in junior high school A rectangle is twice as long as it is wide The length of its diagonal is 5cm, What is the length of the rectangle? a 2.5cm b (√5)/2cm c 2√5cm d √5cm

Pythagorean theorem in junior high school A rectangle is twice as long as it is wide The length of its diagonal is 5cm, What is the length of the rectangle? a 2.5cm b (√5)/2cm c 2√5cm d √5cm

If the width is xcm, the length is 2xcm
√[(2x)^2+x^2]=5
4x^2+x^2=25
5x^2=25
x^2=5
X = positive and negative √ 5cm
Because - √ 5cm is not in line with the title, it is discarded
The width is √ 5cm and the length is 2 √ 5cm
C should be chosen
