Question

Transcribed Image Text:to the Tledrest tentn. A landscaper wants to place a stone walkway from one corner of the rectangular lawn to the opposite corner. The lawn is 23ft by 18ft. a.) What is the length of the walkway to the nearest foot? b.) If the stones cover one foot each how many stone will he have to buy to make sure the path is covered?

Answer 1

The length of the walkway is 24 ft, and you will need 24 stones to cover it.

What is the length of the walkway?

The length of the walkway will be equivalent to the hypotenuse of a right triangle with cathetus of 23ft and 18ft, so we can use the Pythagorean theorem to get it:

L^2  =(23fy)^2 + (18ft)^2

L = √( (23fy)^2 + (18ft)^2 ) = 23.77ft

The walkway is 23.77 ft long.

Rounding to the nearest foot, the length is 24 ft.

b) If each stone covers 1 ft, then you will need 24 stones.
