The distance between the opposite corners of a rectangular plot is 30 m. The length of the
plot is 24 m.
Calculate the breadth of the plot.
​

18m

Explanation:

From the question, the opposite corners of the rectangular plot which is 30m is the diagonal while the length of the plot is 24m.

We'll use the Pythagoras theorem to solve this. Therefore,

length² + breadth² = diagonal²

24² + breadth² = 30²

576 + breadth² = 900

breadth² = 900 - 576

breadth² = 324

breadth = ✓324

breadth = 18

Therefore, the breadth of the plot is 18m.
