Answer 1

Answer:

Jules would need 30 yards of fencing.

Answer 2

The yards of fencing that would be needed is 30√2 yards.

What is the length of the square?

In order to determine the length of the fence, the Pythagoras theorem would be used.

The Pythagoras theorem: a² + b² = c²

where:

a = length

b = base

c = hypotenuse

30²  + 30²

= 900 + 900

= √1800

= 30√2 yards
