Given the rectangle ABCD

AB=X the ratio between AB and BC is equal to$\sqrt{\frac{x}{2}}$

We mark the length of the diagonal $A$ with $m$

Check the correct argument:

$x^2+2x=m^2$

Given the rectangle ABCD

AB=X

The ratio between AB and BC is $\sqrt{\frac{x}{2}}$

We mark the length of the diagonal A the rectangle in m

Check the correct argument:

$m^2+1=(x+1)^2$
