Find the diagonal of the rectangle if its sides are 6 centimeters and 8 centimeters long.

In order to find the diagonal of a rectangle with sides of 6 cm and 8 cm, we apply the Pythagorean theorem.

Consider a right-angled triangle, where the hypotenuse is the diagonal of the rectangle.

d = √ ((6 cm) ^ 2 + (8 cm) ^ 2) = √ (36 cm ^ 2 + 64 cm ^ 2) = √ (100 cm ^ 2) = 10 cm.

Answer: d = 10 cm.
