Question

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

Answer 1

Garden is in shape of rectangle with length = 32 m & breadth = 24 m.
we have to find length of diagonal.
Diagonal will divide rectangle in two equal right angle triangle,
with base = 32m & perpendicular = 24m.
By applying Pythagoras theorem,
 H² = B² + P².
➡ 32² + 24²
➡ H² = 1024 + 576
➡ H² = 1600.
➡ H = 40 m.
H = diagonal = 40 m.

Hope it will help u

Answer 2

The length of the wall =
$\sqrt(24 ^{2} +32 ^{2} )$
$\sqrt{1600}$
= 40
