Question

Your garden is in the shape of a rectangle that measures 24 m by 32 m. You want to put a diagonal wall from corner to corner across the garden. What will be the length of the walk?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Total length of the walk would be 80m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the rectangle is ABCD.

In ∆ABC,

AC=√(AB^2+BC^2)

AC=√(24^2+32^2)

AC=√(576+1024)

AC=√(1600)

AC=40m

Also,

BD=AC (diagonals of a rectangle)

So,

BD=40m

Thus,

Total length of walk=40+40=80m
