Question 762211: Determine the fence required if the area of a square field is 3000 m2 and the fence goes around the perimeter of the field and is also one of the diagonals. Answer by Cromlix(4381) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Area = length * breadth (length = breadth)
Square root of 3000m^2 = 54.8m
Perimeter = 4 * 54.8 = 219.2m
Diagonal is found by considering a
right angled triangle.
54.8^2 + 54.8^2 = Diagonal^2
Diagonal^2 = 6006.1
Diagonal =
Diagonal = 77.5m
Total fence length = 219.2m + 77.5m = 296.7m
