Question

A rectangular ploy of grass is 15.4 m long and 7.3 m wide. What is the length of a diagonal of the plot?

Answer 1

given data:

A rectangular plot of grass is 15.4 m long and 7.3 m wide.

to find the length of the diagonal,

The diagonal equals the square root of the width squared plus the height squared.

`\begin{gathered} D=\sqrt[]{15.4^2+7.3^2} \\ =\sqrt[]{237.16+53.29} \\ =\sqrt[]{290.45} \\ =17.04 \end{gathered}`

The length of the diagonal is 17.04m.
