The diagonal of a rectangle is 26 inches long. Its length is 14 inches more than the height. What is the height of the rectangle?

Answer 1

You can use the Pythagorean equation (a^2 + b^2= c^2 ) because the triangle the diagonal and the 2 sides make is a right triangle.

H= height of rectangle
14+H= width of rectangle

H^2 + (14+H)^2 = 26^2

Solve for h to find height:)
