AC = 40 To find AC, we can use the property that the diagonals of a rectangle are congruent and bisect each other. Given that BO = 24 and AB = 45, we can apply the Pythagorean theorem to find AO and OB.
Using the equation: AO^2 + OB^2 = AB^2 we have: AO^2 + 24^2 = 45^2
Simplifying, we get: AO^2 + 576 = 2025 Subtracting 576 from both sides: AO^2 = 1449
Taking the square root of both sides: AO = √1449 ≈ 38.06
Since the diagonals bisect each other, we know that CO = AO = 38.06. Therefore, AC = 2CO = 238.06 = 76.12.
So, AC is approximately 76.12.
