| 1. A, B, C, D – the vertices of the rectangle. P is the perimeter. VD – diagonal. AB – 5 centimeters.
2. Considering that the sides of the rectangle located opposite each other (opposite) are equal, the perimeter of this geometric figure is calculated by the formula:
P = 2 (AD + AB) = 34 centimeters.
AD + AB = 17 centimeters.
AD = 17 – 5 = 12 centimeters.
3. ВD = √AD² + AB² (by the Pythagorean theorem.)
BD = √12² + 5² = √144 + 25 = √169 = 13 centimeters.
Answer: diagonal: BD = 13 centimeters.
