Question

how much shorter is to walk diagonally across a rectangular field 80 metre long and 60then along two of its adjacent sides​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

diagonal of a rectangle = √ (6400 + 3600)

diagonal = 100 m

along the adjacent side = 80+60 = 140

difference = 140-100 = 40 m

therefore one has to walk 40 m more while walking along the adjacent side

Answer 2

Answer:

L= 80cm

B= 60cm

Diagonal=

\sqrt {{l}^{2}+  {b}^{2} }

=√80^2+60^2

=√6400+3600

=√10000

=100 cm

So, 80+60=130

130-100

=30 cm to walk shorter
