Based on the given dimensions, a mirror which is the closest to being rectangular is: mirror 4.
The diagonal of a rectangle can be defined as a line segment that connects any two (2) of its non-adjacent vertices together while dividing the rectangle into two (2) equal parts.
Mathematically, the length of diagonals of a rectangle can be calculated by using this formula:
d = √(l² + w²)
Where:
For mirror 4, we have:
d = √(16² + 18²)
d = √580
d = 24.08 inches.
