Answer 2

Answer:

The length of his walkway will be 10 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rectangular park has to be constructed. The designer wants to put a gravel walkway that cuts diagonally through the park.

As the length of the park is 6 ft. and width is 8 ft, then applying Pythagoras Theorem the length of the diagonal of the park = $\sqrt{6^{2} + 8^{2}  } =10$ ft.

Therefore, the length of his walkway will be 10 feet. (Answer)
