You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The length of the diagonal is \"D+=+sqrt%2850%5E2+%2B+40%5E2%29+=+sqrt%284100%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "d =~ 64.03 m
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "15*d = 960.5 sq m but that puts part of the road outside the region.
\n" ); document.write( "You'll have to explain the desired configuration.
