The length of a rectangular garden is double it's width.

The area of the garden is 162 m squared.

If the garden wishes to construct a fence diagonally across the garden,

how much fencing(in meters) will be required?

round your answer to the nearest meter.

 

Let d = diagonal

Let A = 162 m2

Let L = length

Let w = width

 

A=Lw|L=2wA=2wwA=2w2A=2w2|:2A2=w2w2=A2

 

d=L2+w2|L=2wd=(2w)2+w2d=4w2+w2d=5w2|w2=A2d=5A2|A=162 m2d=51622d=581|81=92d=592d=95 md=20.1246117975 md20 m

 

how much fencing(in meters) will be required?  20 m

 

d=5w2d2=5w25w2=d2|:5w2=d25w=d5|95w=955w=9 m

 

L=2w|w=9L=29L=18 m

A=l×w=2w×w=162 m2

 

 2w2=162m2

 

w=162 m22=9m

 

l=2w=2×9m=18m

 

f=w2+l2 = (9m)2+(18m)2  

 

f=405m2  = 20.125 m

 

21 m fencing will be required.
