Answer:

Length of the diagonals = 11.66 feet

Explanation:

Troy is building a rectangular garden with dimensions 10 feet and 6 feet.

We have to calculate the length of the diagonals of the park to ensure a 90° angle.

As we know in a rectangle all angles are of 90° and both the diagonals are of same length.

Therefore by Pythagoras theorem we can find the diagonal of the rectangle.

Diagonal² = 10² + 6²

Diagonal = √(100+36) = √(136)

= 11.66 feet

Therefore, length of the diagonals will be = 11.66 feet
