Question

A gopher has dug hose and opposite corners of a rectangle yard if the artist 12 m x 16 m how far will the golfer have to run to get from one of its holes to the other

Answer 1

Given:

There are given that a rectangular yard.

Explanation:

To find the distance that one holes to other:

We need to use the Pythagoras theorem.

So,

From the Pythagoras theorem:

$c^2=a^2+b^2$

Where,

$\begin{gathered} a=12 \\ b=16 \end{gathered}$

Then,

Put both values into the above formula

So,

$\begin{gathered} c^2=a^2+b^2 \\ c^2=12^2+16^2 \\ c^2=144+256 \\ c^2=400 \\ c=\sqrt[]{400} \\ c=20 \end{gathered}$

Final answer:

Hence, 20 meters that will the gopher have to run get from one of its holes to the other.

There are given that a rectanglua
