The members of the gardening group plan to build a walkway through the garden as formed by the hypotenuse of each of the four triangles in the drawing. That way, the gardeners will be able to access all sections of the garden. Calculate the length of the entire walkway to the nearest hundredth of a yard. Show your work

50.24 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use the pythagorean theorem to find hypotenuse of each of the 4 triangles.

Pythagorean Theorem is

For Spinach area, two of the legs are 8 and 6. Solving for hypotenuse:

For watermelon area, two of the legs are 12 and 8. Solving for hypotenuse:

in red peppers area, the hypotenuse is already given as 15. But we need to find one leg since that will be the leg of the triangle in tomatoes area. Hypotenuse is 15 and one leg is 12, so the other leg is:

So, in tomatoes area, we have one leg 9 and another leg 6. Solving for hypotenuse:

Adding all the four hypotenuses, we get the length of the walkway:

Length of Walkway =  yards

step-by-step explanation:

given that there are two triangles j'k'l' and jkl>

the former is got by dilating the second one.

when drawn on a grid, (graph paper) coordinates of vertices of first triangle is

(6,12)j, (9,6)k and (12,9)l

side jk has length = distance between j and k

=

side j'k'=distance between j' and k'

=

ie j'k'l' has sides 1/3 of that of corresponding sides of jkl.

hence scale factor of 1/3 is used to get j'k'l'from jkl

cluster sampling.
