She wants to fill the garden with dirt so she should measure the area. If she were building a fence outside the garden then she'd measure the perimeter.
In the figure, tx is perpendicular to line RS.this means we can use the pythagorean theorem to determine RX length the long way or simply apply the theorem that each divided triangle becomes a 30-60-90 angle. If opposite to 60 deg is equal to 6 units, then the side's length is equal to 2*6/sq rt 3 or equal to 6.93 units. The answer is half of this equal to 3.47 units.
An accurate estimate is anywhere from 0.06 to 0.07. The exact answer is 0.06921568627.
