Riya has a rectangular garden measuring 12m by 20m that she wanted to split diagonally from corner to corner using a fence. How long does her fence need to be? Give your answer to 1 decimal place.

Answer 1

12+20+ 544) = (32+ 544)

Answer 2

......

Length of diagonal of the rectangle=

√( length) ²+( breadth) ²

=√(20) ²+(12) ²

=√400+144

√544 m

. '. Length of fence= √544 m

Perimeter of the triangle formed by the diagonal of the rectangle =(12+20+√544)

=(32+√544) m
