A landscaper wants to place a stone walkway from 1 corner of the rectangular lawn to the opposite corner. What will be the length of the walkway? the rectangle is 80' by 90'.
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Draw a rectangle with adjacent sides of 80' and 90'
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Draw a diagonal of the rectangle.
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Use Pythagoras to find the length of the diagonal.
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "d^2 = 80^2 + 90^2
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "d = = sqrt{6400 + 8100)
\n" ); document.write( "d = sqrt(14500
\n" ); document.write( "diagonal = 120.42'
