Thread: geometry problem

I know I'm going to seem like a real stoop, but this has me baffled because there are NO examples like it in my textbook.

Here's the problem: Find the area of a rectangle with length 4 and diagonal 5.

I know to find the area of a rectangle is A=bh, but don't know how to figure in the diagonal part!

Any help is appreciated!!!!

You must use Pythagore theorem that is c is the diagonal.
For more information on Pythagore theorem go on wikipedia.

And you can do the rest as you told me.
