Question

Mr. Richard owns an orchard that has a rectagular fence . The orchard is 36 yards long and 18 yards wide . if he walks across the diagonal length of the orchard , how much distance would he cover ?​

Answer 1

40.2 Yards

Explanation:

To find the diagonal length of the orchard, we need to use the Pythagorean Theorem. The formula of the Pythagorean Theorem is:

c²= a² + b²

a = 36 Yards

b = 18 Yards

Now let's plug in our values to the formula.

c² = a² + b²

c² = 36² + 18²

c² = 1296 + 324

c² = 1620

Now to find the value of c we need to get the square root of both sides.

`\sqrt{c^(2)}=√(1620)`

c = 40.2

So the diagonal length of Mr. Richard's orchard is 40.2 Yards.
