Justin has a rectangular garden measuring 10ft by 16ft that he wants to split diagonally from corner to corner using a fence. how long should the fence be? round your answer to the tenth

The fence is 18.9 ft long.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you were to create a diagonal line from corner to corner with a square that is 10x16ft, you would have a triangle with 2 known sides and an unknown value. In this case, because you are making a 90° triangle, you can use Pythagorean Theorem:

a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}

10^{2} + 16^{2} = c^{2}

100 + 256 = c^{2}

356 = c^{2}

√356 = c

18.9 = c

answer: 72: 111

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

given that ab is divided into equal parts as

ac, cd, de, ef, fg, gh, hi, ib.

from this we find that f is the midpoint of ab.

so using mid point formula we find

f = (3,7)

similarly considering fb, we get

h = mid point of fb = ((6,6) and g, mid point of fh is

g = (9/2, 13/2)

i is mid point of hb

so i =(15/2,11/2)
