Question 35937: A rectangular garden has dimension of 55 yds by 40 yds if a diagonal path that is exactly 1 yard wide is built through the garden. What is the ares of the path? Answer by checkley71(8403) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! ASSUMING THE RECTANGLE HAS 90 DEGREE CORNERS THEN THE DIAGONAL LENGTH IS 40~2+55~2=P~2 OR 1600+3025=P~2 OR 4625=P~2 OR P=68.007352 YDS.
THUS THE PATH IS 1 YARD WIDE THE AREA OF THE PATH IS 68.007352 SQ. YDS.
