A rectangular city block measures 105 by 88 meters.The city council wants to divide the block into two triangles of equal area. What is the length of the hypotenuse of each triangular area?( I already found the area of the whole rectangle and the area of each triangle)

Answer 1

You must connect points on diagonale.

Then hypotenuse =

sqrt ( 105 ^ 2 + 88 ^ 2 ) =

sqrt ( 11025 + 7744 ) =

sqrt ( 18769 ) = 137 m
