Answer:
height = 10 , area = 240 units²
Step-by-step explanation:
The diagonal splits the rectangle into 2 right triangles.
Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle formed
with hypotenuse h = 26 and legs 24 and height x , then
x² = 26² - 24² = 676 - 576 = 100 ( take square root of both sides )
x = [tex]\sqrt{100}[/tex] = 10
Height = 10 units
area of rectangle = 24 × 10 = 240 units²
