Math Problem Statement

Hitunglah panjang diagonal dari gambar berikut: (Sebuah persegi panjang dengan sisi-sisi 5 dan 5√2)

Solution

The problem asks to calculate the diagonal of a rectangle where one side is 55 and the other side is 525\sqrt{2}.

We can use the Pythagorean theorem to calculate the diagonal xx, since the diagonal of a rectangle forms a right triangle with the two sides.

The formula is:

x2=a2+b2x^2 = a^2 + b^2

Where aa and bb are the sides of the rectangle. Plugging in the values:

x2=52+(52)2x^2 = 5^2 + (5\sqrt{2})^2

x2=25+(52)(22)x^2 = 25 + (5^2)(\sqrt{2}^2)

x2=25+25×2=25+50=75x^2 = 25 + 25 \times 2 = 25 + 50 = 75

Taking the square root of both sides:

x=75=53x = \sqrt{75} = 5\sqrt{3}

Thus, the length of the diagonal xx is 535\sqrt{3}.

Let me know if you want any more details or clarifications. Here are some related questions:

  1. What is the Pythagorean theorem and how does it apply to other shapes?
  2. How do you simplify square roots like 75\sqrt{75}?
  3. Can you calculate the diagonal of a square with sides of length aa?
  4. How would you apply the Pythagorean theorem to 3D shapes?
  5. What is the relationship between the diagonal and the area of a rectangle?

Tip: The Pythagorean theorem is applicable whenever you're dealing with right triangles, so it's very useful for solving problems involving diagonals in rectangular shapes!
