Jules owns a square plot of land that measures 30 yards on each side. He plans to divide the land in half by building a fence as shown by the dotted line below. how many yards of fencing does Jules need
A 15yd
B 30 yd
C 30/2yd
D30/2yd

Answer 1

Answer:

BD = 30√2 yd

Step-by-step explanation:

The shape of the land is a square with 30 yd side length on each side.

The fence to he built is the diagonal of the square BD.

Apply pythagorean theorem to find the number of yards of fencing (BD) he needs.

Thus:

BD² = BC² + CD²

BD² ° 30² + 30²

BD² = 1800

BD = √1800

BD = √(900*2)

BD = 30√2 yd
