Question

2. Each side of a square field is 50 m long. A barricade
is to be placed along the diagonal of the field. Find
the length of the barricade​

Answer 1

Answer:

here's your answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the Length of the side of the square field is 50m.

according to the question, a barricade is to be placed along the diagonal of the field.

now, if we divide the square in two triangles by the diagonal. we get two right angle triangles where sides are the base and perpendicular. and diagonal is the hypotenuse.

→ d² = s² + s²

→ d² = 50² + 50²

→ d² = 2500 + 2500

→ d = √5000

→ d = 70.71m (approximately)

hence, the Length of the barricade is 70.71m
