Question

A rectangular field is 36

meters long and 15 meters
wide How many more meters
18 it to walk on the sidewalk
rother than cutting through
the field diagonally?

Answer 1

12meters

Explanation:

Given data

Lenght = 36 meters

Width = 15 meters

The dimension of the diagonal can be gotten via Pythagoras theorem

D^2= L^2+W^2

Substitute

D^2= 36^2+ 15^2

D^2= 1296+225

D^2= 1521

D= √1521

D= 39 meters

Hence the distance while walking on the side is

=36+15

=51 meters

Hence the difference is

=51-39

=12meters
