Detailed Solution

seoDiagonals of Rectangle are always equal
Hence, PR=QS
PR+QS=10
PR=QS=5
PR2=PQ2+QR2 Pythagoras Theorem
52=PQ2+7-PQ2
25=PQ2+49+PQ2-14PQ
2PQ2-14PQ+24=0
PQ2-7PQ+12=0
PQ2-4PQ-3PQ+12=0
PQPQ-4-3PQ-4=0
PQ-4PQ-3=0
PQ=4 or PQ=3
QR=3 or QR=4
Area of rectangle PQRS=4×3 or 3×4
=12 or 12
=12 sq. units
