Given:
The length of diagonal of rectangle is d = 10 cm.
The length of base is b = 8 cm.
Explanation:
The relation between length, height and diagonal of rectangle is given by pythagoras theorem. So
[tex]d^2=l^2+h^2[/tex]Substitute the values in the equation to obtain the value of h.
[tex]\begin{gathered} (10)^2=(8)^2+h^2 \\ 100=64+h^2 \\ h=\sqrt[]{100-64} \\ =\sqrt[]{36} \\ =6 \end{gathered}[/tex]So the height of rectangle is 6 cm.
Answer: 6 cm
