  1. Given diagonal (PR) = 41 cm, length (PQ) = 40 cm
    Let breadth (QR) be x cm.
    Now, in right angled triangle PQR,

    (PR)² = (RQ)² + (PQ)² [By Pythagoras theorem]
    ⇒ (41)² = x² + 1600
    ⇒ 1681 = x² + 1600
    ⇒ x² = 1681 – 1600
    ⇒ x² = 81
    ⇒ x= √81 = 9 cm
    Therefore the breadth of the rectangle is 9 cm.
    Perimeter of rectangle = 2(length + breadth)
    = 2 (9 + 49)
    = 2 x 49 = 98 cm
    Hence, the perimeter of the rectangle is 98 cm.
