Question 1047879: A square field is surrounded by 6m sections of fencing. If the diagonal length of the feild is 54 root 2 m , how many lengths of fencing are on each side? Answer by jorel555(1290) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let n be one side of the square. Then:
2n²=(54√2)²
2n²=2(54)²
n=54
Each side is 54m in length; so you need 54/6, or 9 sections of fencing on each side. ☺☺☺☺
