Question

The diagram at the right shows a path through a garden.

The approximate length of the path, p, can be found with the formula


`} p^(2)` =
`8^(2)` +
`10^(2)`

Which of the following measures is closest to the length

of the path?

A. 10 m

B. 12 m

C. 13 m

D. 18 m

Answer 1

Answer: B about 13 m

Explanation:

Calculate 8² = 64 and 10² = 100 Add to get 16

Then get √164 = =12.80624847

Round up to 13.
