Question 1090907: A rectangular field is to be divided along its diagonal PR into two plots .If the dimensions of the field are 150m × 75m calculate the length of the fencing needed to divide the field (length of PR) Answer by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! A rectangular field is to be divided along its diagonal PR into two plots .
If the dimensions of the field are 150m × 75m calculate the length of the fencing needed to divide the field (length of PR)
:
The diagonal is the hypotenuse of the two triangles formed. a^2 + b^2 = c^2
Where
a = 150
b = 75
c = diagonal
:
c^2 = 150^2 + 75^2
c =
c = 167.7 m is the length of the diagonal
