Answer:

200.2

Explanation:

I would hate to own such a shed. It's not very big.

2 meters = 2 * 100 cm = 200 cm

The diagonal of the floor is the diagonal of 6cm by 5cm. Using a^2 + b^2 = c^2

5^2 + 6^2 = 25 + 36 = 61

The square root of 61 is 7.81 cm

Now the diagonal of the floor diagonal and the height

a^2 + h^2 = board^2

61 + 200^2 = board^2

61 + 40000 = board^2

40061 = board^2

sqrt(board^2) = sqrt(40061)

board = 200.2cm long.

Maybe you should check the question for units.
