Question

The length of the diagonal chicken wire fence will be how many meters?Dimension of the backyardWidth = 24metersLength = 45meters

Answer 1

Let the backyard be

We want to find x

By pythagoras theorem

`\begin{gathered} Hypotenus^2=Opposite^2+Adjacent^2 \\ x^2=24^2+45^2 \\ x^2=576+2025 \\ x^2=2601 \\ x^{}=\sqrt[]{2601} \\ x=51\text{meters} \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the length of the diagonal chicken wire fence will be 51 meters
