Guess the diagonal
Source:
My Best Mathematical and Logic Puzzles
by Martin Gardner
Calculate the length of the diagonal CG.
Show answer & extension
Hide answer & extension
CG is equal to AF as they are both diagonals in a rectangle.
AF is a radius of the triangle, so AF = 10.
Therefore CG = 10.
Extension
Calculate the lengths of CI and CJ.
Calculate the lengths of HG.
