The length of a rectangle is 8 cm and each of its diagonals measures 10 cm. The breadth of the rectangle is

A rectangle can be divided into two triangles.


Sides of each triangle will be 8cm and 10 cm.


According to Pythagoras theorem,


a2 = b2 + c2


102 = 82 + c2


c = √ (102 – 82)


c =


c = 6 cm


So, breadth of rectangle is 6 cm.
