Question

ross has a rectangular garden in his back yard.He measured one side of the garden as 22 feet and the diagonal as 33 feet. what si the lengh of the side of his garden. round in nearset tenth of a foot

Answer 1

We'd used the pythagorean theorem for this problem. Since the side length, diagonal, and missing side form a right triangle.

a²+b²=c²
22²+b²=33²
484+b²=1089
subtract 484 from both sides
b²=605
√b²=24.60
b=24.6 feet

Answer=24.6ft

Answer 2

same thing. 22^2+b^2=33^2
484+b^2=1089
b^2=605
b=24.60
