A playground is shaped like a rectangle with a width 5 times it’s length. What is the simplified expression for the distance bet

Bad White [126]

Width: W
length: L = 5W

Use the Pyth. Theorem to find the length of the diagonal:

|D| = sqrt(W^2 + [5W]^2) = sqrt(W^2 + 25W^2) = sqrt(26W^2), or

Wsqrt(26) (ans.)
