In a rectangular parallipipel, the diagonal is 10 cm, and the diagonal of the base is 6 cm. Find the area of the diagonal section.

Consider a right-angled triangle ACC1, in which AC1 = 10 cm, AC = 6 cm, then, according to the Pythagorean theorem, the leg CC1 will be equal to:

CC1 ^ 2 = AC1 ^ 2 – AC ^ 2 = 10 ^ 2 – 6 ^ 2 = 100 – 36 = 64.

CC1 = 8 cm.

The diagonal section of the parallelepiped is a rectangle АА1С1С.

Determine the area of the diagonal section.

Saa1c1c = AC * CC1 = 6 * 8 = 48 cm2.

Answer: The area of the diagonal section is 48 cm2.
