frankie wants to build a path from one corner of his yard to the opposite corner. his yard measures 20 ft. x 32 ft. what will be the length of his path to the nearest tenth of a foot?
21.5 ft
25.0 ft
32.6 ft
37.7 ft

Imagine Frankie's yard as a rectangle. He wants a path going from one corner to another. To find out the length of the path, view it as a triangle, with the sides of the yard being the opposite and adjacent sides and the path being the hypotenuse. This is a right triangle so all you have to do is solve for c in the Pythagorean Theorem.


= 400 + 1024
= 1424

c = 37.7 ft
