Question

Each side of the square field is 50m long. a barricade ie to be placed along diagonal of the field. find the length of the barricade

Answer 1

Answer:

70.7106781187

Step-by-step explanation:

By using Pythagoras Theorem we can conclude that we need to find the hypotenuse using the adjacent and opposite, here they both are 50 and using a2+b2=c2, we can do 50X50 which is 2500 x 2, which is 5000 and the square root of 5000 is 70.7106781187.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

$a ^{2} + {b}^{2} = {c}^{2} (pythagoras \: \: theorem) \\ {50}^{2} + {50}^{2} = {c}^{2} \\ 2500 + 2500 = {c}^{2} \\ c = 5000 \\ = \sqrt{5000} \\ = 70.71m$

The length of the barricade is 70.71m.

Hope it helps.
