In a straight quadrangular prism, the base is a rectangle with sides 7 and 24, and the height is 8.

In a straight quadrangular prism, the base is a rectangle with sides 7 and 24, and the height is 8. Find the areas of dioganal sections.

Since there is a rectangle at the base of the prism, its diagonals AC and BD are equal.

In a right-angled triangle ABD, according to the Pythagorean theorem, we determine the length of the ВD diagonal.

BD ^ 2 = AB ^ 2 +  AD^ 2 = 7 ^ 2 + 24 ^ 2 = 49 + 576 = 625.

BD = 25 cm.

The prism is straight, then the heights of the prism are perpendicular to the base.

The diagonal sections of the prism are equal-sized rectangles АА1С1С and ВВ1D1D.

Determine the cross-sectional area.

Ssection = BB1 * ВD = 8 * 25 = 200 cm2.

Answer: The areas of the diagonal sections are 200 cm2.
