Question

Frankie wants to build a path from one corner of his yard to the opposite corner. His yard measures 20 ft. x 32 ft. What will be the length of his path to the nearest tenth of a foot? 21.5 ft 25.0 ft 32.6 ft 37.7 ft

Answer 1

37.7 ft

Explanation:

This is Pythagorean Theorem aka A^2+B^2=C^2

20^2+32^2=C^2

400+1024=C^2

1424=C^2 (now square root both sides)

37.7359…

Closest answer is 37.7 ft
