A square garden has a diagonal of 34 ft. Colton wants to put a fence around the entire garden.

Round to the nearest foot.

Enter your answer in the box.

Respuesta :

Let x be the side of your square. Use Pythagoras to find the side in the right triangle formed with 2 sides and the diagonals:

x² + x² = 34²

2x² = 34² = 1126

x² = 1126/2 = 578
and x =√578 = 17√2 ≈ 24 ft
H will need 24 x 4 = 96 ft
