Question

Length of a rectangle swimming pool is 50 yards and the width of the pool is 60 yards what is the approximate length of the diagonal of pool

Answer 1

Approximately 78 yards

Explanation:

From the question, I was able to deduce that the swimming pool is a cuboid because the length and width step different in yards. After sketching a cuboid, length= 60 yards, width= 50 yards, then draw a diagonal across the upper rectangle of the cuboid, to get the diagonal, use Pythagoras theorem, Hypotenuse²= opposite²+adjacent²;. x²=60²+50²=3600+2500=6100 ;.

x²=6100 therefore X=√6100 =78.1024 yards, but approximately 78yards, since the question instructed that answer should be approximated.
