Question

Steve is turning half of his backyard into a chicken pen. His backyard is a 24 meter by 45
meter rectangle. He wants to put a chicken wire fence that stretches diagonally from one corner to the opposite corner.

How many meters of fencing will Steve need?

Answer 1

✪||Solution||✪

let, one side be a , other side be b and diagonal be c.

length of Diagonal = metre of fencing Steve need.

Using Pythagoras theorem.

c² = a² + b²

c² = 24m² + 45m²

c² = 576m² + 2025

c² = 2601m²

c = $\bold{\sqrt{2601{m}^{2} }}$

c = $\bold{\sqrt{51 × 51 × m × m }}$

c = 51m

diagonal of rectangle = 51m

length of Diagonal = metre of fencing Steve need.

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

c² = a² + b²

c² = 24m² + 45m²

c² = 576m² + 2025

c² = 2601m²

c =

c =

c = 51m
