Another side = √[(13)² – (5)²] = 12m
Area = 12 * 5 = 60m²
One of the adjacent sides of a rectangular courtyard is 5m and its dia...
Given Data:
- One side of the rectangular courtyard = 5m
- Diagonal of the rectangular courtyard = 13m
Calculating the Other Side of the Rectangle:
- Let the other side of the rectangle be 'x' meters.
- Using Pythagoras theorem, we can find the value of 'x':
x² + 5² = 13²
x² + 25 = 169
x² = 144
x = 12
Calculating the Area of the Courtyard:
- Area of a rectangle = Length x Width
- Area = 5m x 12m
- Area = 60m²
Therefore, the area of the courtyard is 60m², which corresponds to option 'A'.
