the nearest tenth.

15 m

13 m

a.

b.

C.

d.

35.5 m

7.5 m

56 m

97.5 m

Answer 1

35.5m

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the diagram attached

First you need to get the missing side of the triangular pool using the pythagoras theorem;

Let the missing side be x

x² = 15² - 13²

x² = 225 - 169

x² = 56

x = √56

x = 7.48m

Amount of meter of fence needed is the perimeter of the triangular pool

perimeter of the triangular pool = 15 + 13 + 7.48

perimeter of the triangular pool = 35.48m

perimeter of the triangular pool = 35.5m

Hence the amount of meters of fence needed is 35.5m
