Question

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

Answer 1

200m

Step-by-step explanation:

Barricade will be placed on boundaries.

Length of Barricade will be equal to perimeter of square field.

Perimeter of square=4×Side

=>4×50

=The barricade's length is 200m

Answer 2

Answer:

70.71m

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
