Steve is turning half of his backyard into a chicken pen. His backyard is a 24 meter by 45 meter rectangle. He wants to put a chicken wire fence that stretches diagonal from one corner to the opposite corner. How many meters of fencing will Steve need?

51m

Step-by-step explanation:

For this equation, you want to use pythagoras' theorem (or pythagorean theorem) to work out the hypotenuse (diagonal line)

The formula for this is a²+b²=c², where c is the hypotenuse.

We can sub in the 2 sides for a and b, turning the equation into 24²+45²=c².

Working out the squares gives 576+2025=c², which can be solved to c²=2601.

To get c, we must square root both sides, which results in c=51m.

**This question involves pythagoras' theorem, which you may wish to revise. I'm always happy to help!

answer: the answer is one of

step-by-step explanation:   we are given to write a proper fraction where the whole is divided into an even number of equal parts less than ten, and an odd number of those parts exist.

an even number less than 10 may be one of 2, 4, 6 or 8. so, the whole may be one of these four evens.

now, an odd number of these parts must exist, so the numerator must be an odd number, one of 1, 3, 5 or 7. it cannot be 9 because then the fraction will become improper.

thus, our fraction may be one of the following
