Question

A school has a square courtyard and wants to create diagonal walkways. The length of each side

Answer 1

Answer:

51 Yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Each side is 36 yards. split the square in half(corner to corner) making two right triangle use the pythagorean theorem ($A^{2}$ + $B^{2}$ =$C^{2}$ ) to solve.

$36^{2}$+$36^{2}$= $C^{2}$

1296+1296= 2592

√2592= 50.911

50.911 rounds up to 51

Answer 2

Answer:

Approximately 51 Yards

Step-by-step explanation:

You can solve this by cutting the square in half to make a right triangle. Than, you can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve for the hypotenuse.

a^2+b^2=c^2

36^2+36^2=c^2

1296+1296=c^2

2592=c^2

50.9116

Round to the nearest whole number since the question says approximately: 51
