The design of a garden path uses stone pieces shaped as squares with side length of 15 in. Find the length (horizontal measureme
nt) of the path to the nearest inch.
The length of the path is __?__ inches.
The length of the path is __?__ inches.
1 answer:
I found an image that has a similar problem.
The squares were in a diamond form. There were six squares. To get the length of the path, I have to solve for the diagonal of the square.
To solve for the diagonal of the square, I have to multiply the length one side by the square root of 2.
diagonal of one square = 15 in * √2 = 21.21 in
21.21 in * 6 squares = 127.28 inches
The length of the path is 127 inches.
