Ellen wants to put some edging around her lawn
\n" ); document.write( "The lawn is in the shape of a right-angle triangle
\n" ); document.write( "The edging is sold in pieces 110cm long and 20cm high
\n" ); document.write( "The price of each piece is £5
\n" ); document.write( "Calculate how much it will cost Ellen to do the job
\n" ); document.write( "The lengths of the lawn is 6m high and 4m long
\n" ); document.write( "--------
\n" ); document.write( "Draw a right triangle with legs of 6m and 4m
\n" ); document.write( "Find the hypotenuse::
\n" ); document.write( "h = sqrt(6^2+4^2) = sqrt(36+16) = sqrt(52) = sqrt(4*13) = 2sqrt(13)
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "Perimeter of the triangle = 6+4+2sqrt(13) = [10+2sqrt(13)] meters
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Convert to centimeters:: (10+2sqrt(13)*100 = (1000+200sqrt(13))cm
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Ans::# of pieces needed:: (1000+200sqrt(13))/110
\n" ); document.write( "=====
\n" ); document.write( "Cost = $5[1000+200sqrt(13))/110 = (1000+200sqrt(13))/22 = $76.95
\n" ); document.write( "-------------
