Abcd is a rectangle. what is the value of x? rectangle with length 63 m, width x m, and diagonal 65 m 2 meters 16 meters 63 meters 65 meters

 The correct option is (B) 16 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:  As shown in the attached figure, ABCD is a rectangle with length 63 m, width x m and diagonal 65 m.

We are given to find the value of x.

Since all the four angles of a rectangle are right angles, so triangle ABD will be a right-angled triangle, where

∠BAD = 90°, AB = 63 m, AD = x m and hypotenuse, BD = 65 m.

Using Pythagoras theorem, we have from triangle ABD that

Thus, the value of x is 16 meters.

Option (B) is CORRECT.
